Ros Green

Director of Essex Book Festival

“Having worked in the cultural sector across multiple art-forms for 35+ years, both in the UK and internationally, I am in absolutely no doubt that investing in the arts, culture and creative industries and practices has enormous value to the well-being of individuals and communities. Never has it been more important and impactful than now, a time of great uncertainty for everyone, to encourage people to both share their own stories and to listen to those of others – in whatever creative form they take. We are the sum of our stories: our stories are our legacy, and their telling have the power to change lives for the better.”
