Forthcoming Exhibition at The Babylon Gallery.

Dear Supporter - We need your help please!

We were informed on Wednesday afternoon this week that a proposal to end the 18 year partnership between ADeC and East Cambridgeshire District Council from June 2010 is going to the Community Services Committee on Thursday evening, 21 January. Please open this file so you can see how these changes will affect you. .

A packed programme of creative activities funded by Cambridgeshire County Council have been put together by ADeC to keep young people aged 13 – 19 years entertained during the holidays throughout the Huntingdonshire district. From Film Making, Belly Dancing, and BBoying to Circus Skills, Beat Boxing and Street Dance there are a wide range of free half day sessions taking place at Huntingdon, Sawtry, Yaxley, St Neots, St Ives, Sommersham and Earith. Following a successful tender for the project ADeC are working with the Youth Centres to develop arts and cultural activities in Huntingdonshire.

Three local groups have recently benefitted from grant awards from ADeC (Arts Development in East Cambridgeshire). The grants, available to groups in East Cambridgeshire, can be used for a range of purposes from small items of art equipment to employing professional artists to run workshops.
