What does London Borough of Brent do?

Brent 2020 was a nonprofit organization established in 2019 to deliver a yearlong cultural program in the London Borough of Brent as part of the Mayor of London's initiative. The program aimed to connect the community through various creative and cultural initiatives, exploring the stories and emotions that define life in Brent. It received £1.35 million in funding to support its activities. The Brent 2020 program included a variety of digital and live events, community engagement projects, educational opportunities, and funding support for local cultural activities. It involved collaboration with volunteers, artists, and educational organizations to foster grassroots creativity and empower young people. Following the program's conclusion, Metroland Cultures was formed to continue its legacy, focusing on initiatives like the Brent Art Biennial and career development programs for local artists and youth, supported by a £1 million investment from the council.
