Inspire: Culture, Learning and Libraries is a charitable community benefit society delivering cultural and learning services across Nottinghamshire.
The society is owned and controlled by its members. Members are drawn from the community, and all staff become members of the society when appointed.
Inspire delivers the following services:
Inspire is also the host organisation for the Cultural Education Partnership (CEP) for Ashfield and Mansfield.
We deliver services from 67 buildings across Nottinghamshire and 4 vehicles, have over 750 people working for us and have an annual turnover of £17.2M. Inspire became a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) resulting in a £1.2M investment between 2018 – 2023 from Arts Council England to deliver a cultural programme through the library service.
Our Forward Plan 2022 outlines the challenges and development we need to focus on over the coming years. The plan identifies the priorities, outcomes and enabling work we need to achieve to ensure Inspire continues to be successful and sustainable. The highlights of the plan and our most recent annual review can be found under the about-us tab.
Our staff are core to the success of the society; to work for Inspire is to work for a charity, membership body and social enterprise. We aim to be professional and friendly. We have at our heart a passion for culture, heritage and learning.
