@CultureFMHub presents SAVING ENERGY IN THE CULTURAL SECTOR. 🚨🏛💡🖥Free to attend webinar

Rising energy prices are causing a crisis in the cultural sector. In response to this the @CultureFMHub is bringing together a panel of experts to discuss ways of saving energy….

The interests of the Tory party should concern no-one right now.
A General Election is now a democratic imperative.
