To attract residents, and visitors from further afield in our destination venues, in ever-growing numbers, by exceeding customer expectations and by implementing measures to continually widen access.
To play a leading role in the regeneration of Coventry, increasing pride in the city amongst its people, and contributing to inward investment with consequent city-wide benefits.
To earn income from the destination venues that can further enhance and expand the Trust’s community work, ultimately bringing increased and more diverse usage in those venues.

A Shared Mission

To connect with and understand people and their communities, so that facilities and services can be specifically shaped to be relevant to their needs and to enrich their lives;
To continue to challenge the accepted norms about engagement and be driven as much by the impact upon people’s lives as by the numbers of people reached; and
