 	Project description (200–400 words) for use in marketing materials, on webpages etc. Note that this may be edited.	The Network Neighbourhood Touring (NNT) programme will bring innovative and contemporary live performance in many artforms, in a series of festivals to a greater and more diverse audience within hard to reach communities across Hull. Hull, like many towns and cities across England, has community buildings which could provide the home for touring productions. However these facilities are underutilised due to both supply and demand issues. Specifically, promoters and performance companies are not aware that these venues exist and those running the spaces are not equipped with the relevant skills and knowledge to programme touring productions. 

Following widespread community consultation, Hull 2017 has established a demand for local provision of cultural offer and the NNT project will kickstart a cross-city network with a supported delivery team to allow venue managers, programmers, engagement & marketing managers and technical teams to come together to deliver an artistic programme at an affordable price, bringing into wider use venues such as schools, social clubs and community centres. 

NNT will build upon Hull 2017’s engagement programme which has four key strands - - Schools and learning – collaborating with 63,000 children and young people in Hull - Volunteering and social action – recruiting and training up to 4,000 volunteers - 
Community development and cohesion – Hull has low levels of engagement, and one in 10 residents feel lonely or isolated. - 
Participation – We have identified key target groups with which to work to maximise the positive impact of the programme e.g. those who are disabled and Eastern European communities. 

By embedding models of good practice and providing high quality experiences we can create a blueprint which can be utilised across England breathing new life into social clubs and maximising the community potential of school and community assets.
