CASE STUDY
Client: Westmorland & Furness Council
Art, Culture & Leisure Strategic Advice

GC Insight is currently supporting Westmorland and Furness Council to secure investment in a range of arts, cultural and leisure assets in the district. Creating a thriving cultural economy is a key priority for the Council to enable access to a diverse and distinctive range of opportunities and enjoy high quality cultural experiences across the area.

This has included: 

  • Business case support to inform investment decisions in the Coronation Hall events venue in Ulverston
  • Bid support to secure investment in the Dock Museum from the Arts Council in Barrow
  • Socio economic analysis and business case support to inform investment decisions in Ulverston Leisure Centre

This work builds on long term support provided by GC Insight team members to help the Council secure major investment in Town Deal, Levelling Up and the Barrow Transformation Fund.

“GC Insight have been a pleasure to work with. They are always very diligent and act professionally. They have also demonstrated their ability to work to tight deadlines and pivot the scope of work, even at short notice. I would highly recommend them”
