Funky Flamingo About Us

About Us

The Funky Flamingo Club is organised by a Steering
Group of disabled adults and young people who meet on
a regular basis to discuss and arrange everything from
the music and entertainment at the club to decorations,
publicity, tickets and merchandising.

The group have been meeting regularly
since June 2001 to plan the club and,
although many of them had not worked
together or met in the past, they soon
developed a good team spirit and work
well together, taking on responsibility
of different areas in order that all of the
work is covered.

The project was set up and is facilitated
by Inspire, an arts development comp-
any which runs an Arts and Disability
service for Cambridgeshire and Peter-
borough.

Funds for the project have come from
a variety of sources including Cam-
bridge City Council Community Arts
and Leisure Grants, South Cambs. District Council, Media
Box and Big Lottery as well as box office receipts.

The Funky Flamingo Club was developed through a
partnership with The Junction. Their support included
staff time and expertise, marketing and PR support, Box
Office facilities and free hire of the venue. Unfortunately
this is no longer the case.
