Our Audience Development Strategy aims to diversify our audience to ensure we are truly representative of our community, providing a vital resource for individuals and communities who currently don’t engage with Harewood, but have a need for experiences in cultural and nature spaces.
Our priority audiences over the next 5 years include:
- Local families from low-income households
- Children with special educational needs or disabilities, and care experienced young people
- Local visitors of Black, Asian and Minority ethnicity
Launching in early 2025, the Community Access Membership (CAM) at Harewood House is an annual membership for organisations providing support to community groups facing barriers to accessing Harewood, as detailed in our audience development strategy. CAM groups will be able to visit Harewood House at any point throughout the year, as many times as they like. The membership is for service users, their carers, accompanying support workers and volunteers, and next of kin.
We will be launching the scheme in early 2025, and are welcoming community groups to submit an expression of interest from November 2024 onwards.
Membership will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and our Development team will aim to respond to your interest form within 2 weeks of receipt.
