Karen's statement on funding for Foxlowe Arts Centre:
"Congratulations to The Foxlowe Arts Centre who have just secured £8,500 from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Funded by individuals' pledges, donations and trading proceeds and staffed largely by volunteers, The Centre is the perfect example of a true community centre. The Centre first opened its doors in December 2011 and, having already gained a strong following from the local community, I am delighted to see that it is now gaining the recognition it deserves from further afield.
I am so proud of the Foxlowe Centre and will use my position as Secretary of State for DCMS to make sure that is known about and replicated across the country."
