In the charity's own words
The goal of Equal People was to open performing arts facilities that are accessible to all. In 2014/2015 a facility to accommodate the needs of all was opened and the many years of donations and charitable activities was invested. Now the charity needs to maintain the wonderful facility and ensure that opportunities are available to allow the charity to continue fulfilling the objectives.
