LLSB The Bigger Picture

The Long Live Southbank group created a documentary film to discuss and portray what the Undercroft means and how you can't just move history.

It is titled 'The Bigger Picture' as Jude Kelly had used the phrase towards the skaters and them preventing the movement of the Undercroft. This short film is their way to have their say in a creative and informative way.

Through watching many different videos made from the side of the Long Live Southbank and opposing Southbank videos I have come to notice that the Southbank are portraying hard straight acts whereas the LLSB project have opinions, from the community and public.

This shows the difference between a company and the community, highlighting where their priorities lye.

Southbank Centre R&D

After visiting London a number of times over the years I realised I don't know much about the Southbank Centre.

So what exactly is the Southbank Centre?
A centre for arts consisting of the Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth and the Hayward Gallery. Also outdoor areas suitable for festivals and buskers. 

Approximately 47% of the Southbank Centre's budget is from the Arts Council. A break down of how much money they fund can be found here: http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/funding/browse-regularly-funded-organisations/npo/southbank-centre/

The remaining funds are self generated by s
ponsorships, charitable donations and commercial activities. The fundraising department is responsible for raising over £4.4million a year.
