13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

Sorry, Jon, you have more talking to do. What is LIVE’s long term funding strategy for the LIVE Trust?

13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

It came up earlier that you have just appointed trustees. That is very exciting, but how will you ensure that they remain independent, and also that they have the skills and the support for good governance and keep things in line?

13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

We have heard a lot from artists and grassroots music venues, but how will you ensure that the money gets to festivals and promoters as well? Obviously, we have heard a lot about the ecosystem and the wider way that this all connects so how will you support that?

13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

What has the feedback from promoters and the festivals that you are working with been at this point?

Given your own experience of setting up a charity, any advice for them?

Based on all of your engagement with the sector, including the time you spent with Jon, are you confident that the LIVE Trust will be sustainable and well governed long term?

13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

Do you think there is any scope, though, to look at things like something relative to the Featured Artists Coalition for festival promoters, and those other bodies that we are discussing throughout this process?

The Arts Council has set up the Featured Artists Coalition, and it has distributed those funds into the LIVE Trust. Is that your preference necessarily? If a body sets up something similar like that or to go straight into LIVE Trust, do you have a preference either way?

5 May 2025 Victory in Europe and Victory over Japan: 80th Anniversary

The 80th anniversary of VE Day and VJ Day is a time for us to remember and honour those who fought to defend our freedoms, our values and our people. It is also a time to recognise the contribution that veterans from across our country continue to make to their communities. For many of our veterans, their service to th

5 May 2025Health and Social Care Reform

Last week, the Centre for Young Lives published a report on the state of mental health support for children and young people across England. It outlines that despite an ongoing crisis in mental health among young people, “There remains a 55% treatment gap” between adult and children’s mental health, and that “fewer tha

Lynne, you have spoken before and I want to quote you back to yourself, if you will forgive me. No, sorry, I will quote Jessica who was on earlier. She has talked about women having to choose between taking sexist abuse from men and paying the rent and how “misogyny will wrongly allow women to be labelled as awkward, d

29 Apr 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 844)

Thank you so much for coming today. Both Sharon and Geoff touched on this earlier, but I will talk a bit more about the social value and health benefits of comedy. With that in mind, organisations have gone into prisons and performed there. A campaign called Craic Health is about comedy on prescription and social presc

You are right. There is a legacy here. It has been happening for a long time. It is not new. You are already doing these things. But what can be done to formalise that arrangement a bit more, to provide a bit more structure and a bit more support, and to have those links within communities?

29 Apr 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 844)

Sharon, assuming you agree with what Geoff was saying about validation and recognition, what would look like in academic circles? What would make it easy for people making policy to pick comedy as a legitimate way of helping with mental health issues, loneliness or any of those things?
