Arts Connect, a Centre for Cultural Education in the School of Creative Industries at the University of Wolverhampton has been working with Family Hub partners in the Black Country to bring creative skills, ideas, resources and most importantly playfulness, to children and their families in Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton, by distributing free craft packs through the Let’s Craft programme.

The Church Commissioners would have to allocate an amount equivalent to one per cent of their endowment annually to Diocesan Stipend Funds, under a new Measure proposed by the Bishop of Hereford, Dr Richard Jackson and the Bishop of Bath & Wells, Dr Michael Beasley.

The fund currently stands at £11.1 billion, generating a hypothetical allocation of £111 million. On Monday, the two Bishops sent an email to all diocesan bishops urging them to support their proposal.
