We had a tiring and inspiring day trip to Light Night Leeds with members of the Impact Network for Creatives (INC). It was fabulous to see the city streets filled with people enjoying the illuminations, installations and performances. We also got to spend time learning about and visiting SLUNG LOW, they told us about some of their incredible projects, which has sparked some interesting conversations on the coach home and we just love the fact that every Slung low event is Pay What you Decide. Truly amazing work from the team up in Leeds, thanks for hosting us!
