Vision

Over the next ten years our cultural services will both directly deliver services and work with partners to enable and inspire ambitious cultural activity. We will make the best use of resources; maximise opportunity and contribute to the growth and success of our borough, communities and people.

Our vision is that by 2031 Richmond will have an ambitious, innovative and sustainable cultural offer which offers more opportunities to more people and fosters lifelong access to culture for all.

Priorities

Central to achieving this vision are five key priorities:

• We pursue EXCELLENCE
• We are RESPONSIVE
• We commit to INCLUSIVITY
• We EMPOWER
• We make SPACE & PLACE

Navigating the uncertain financial landscape of the next decade is critical and this has been a key consideration in the development of Culture Richmond.

Our cultural services recognise the need to support the Council’s financial stability over the coming years and will explore more efficient use of their budgets in order to maximise impact.

Our commitment to reducing costs by offering better value for money and leveraging additional income and opportunities for investment through new programmes, collaborations and ways of working is reflected in our five priorities.
