Network Suppliers

You know what it’s like you’re in the middle of a production and you want a specific costume, or you need someone to teach you something, or make you something, or play something. Well this section aims to help you identify those resources – and an opportunity for you to add to the list.

We have included information about equipment including community equipment banks.

We recognise that people are an important resource for community organisations so professional creatives and companies can list their services here. We’d like them to list at least two voluntary arts groups they’ve worked with who could act as referees.

Members can share resources and equipment amongst themselves in the resources part of the members section.
