Julie said: "Mr Hancock was particularly interested in how we combine arts, heritage and sport as a Trust, and the way they can work together to promote wellbeing. We also talked about the Culture is Digital report which sets out a framework for how culture and technology can work together to increase participation and boost the capability of cultural organisation."

"We were delighted that he made the time to visit the museum and mallery and also meet some of our staff and volunteers.''
