EVER wondered what goes on the behind the scenes of the charitable trust which delivers arts, heritage and events across Warrington? Formed in May 2012, Culture Warrington operates Warrington Museum and Art Gallery and Pyramid and Parr Hall as well as organising events across the town. As part of our Humans of Warrington feature we have been given access to those who bring these ideas to life.
Name: Maureen Banner
Location: Woolston
Job title: Chairman of Warrington Cultural Trust
"I decided to apply for the position after retiring as a primary school teacher.
"I have always been interested in culture and I also read a lot and go to the theatre.
"I'm interested in what goes on in Warrington so that was one of the main reasons I put myself forward for the board four years ago.
"I thought it was very brave what Warrington Borough Council was doing at that time to set up LiveWire and Culture Warrington.
"That fired my interest.
"I think it's really important we celebrate our heritage and encourage everybody to be a part of this.
"Everyone on the board in a volunteer and we help to make sure art, history and culture are delivered across Warrington in line with the business plan."
