John Bright, philanthropist and BAFTA and Academy and Award winning costume designer, has launched The Bright Foundation to support young people in the arts.
The launch, which took place on 9 June, included the opening of the new Barn Theatre and Museum in Hastings, alongside a private collection of toys, puppets and model theatre sets dating back to the 18th Century.
Free access to the new theatre and museum will be given to schools colleges and community groups, initially across East Sussex and more broadly in the longer term.
The Foundation's programme includes school visits, summer schools, performance projects, cross-curricular learning, wellbeing retreats, volunteering, family festivals, skills training, and career support.
