Leaveners hit by funding withdrawal
Quaker arts organisation faces a loss of funding

2nd December 2016
The main funder of the Leaveners, the Birmingham-based Quaker arts organisation, has withdrawn its sponsorship.
The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) has provided core funding for staffing and overheads for thirty years. A change in JRCT’s funding priorities means that Leaveners no longer meet their remit.
