All hope much appreciated, thank you! Hi,

I am contacting you as I couldnt come to your meeting last weekend. I have just completed a three month internship at the Barbican, which has confirmed by suspicions about the cultural sector and highlighted the risks of unregulation within the schemes. I am writing letters to various policy makers and mps to raise the issue, and would love to get involved with you guys. Best wishes, Sarah Hi!
