White Lantern Film receives Arts and Business ‘Reach’ investment.

Working in partnership with Nationwide Building Society, Arts and Business have invested in the OUR PIER heritage project through their ‘Reach’ programme to improve the search for Bournemouth Pier stories.

The REACH investment will deepen the relationship with Nationwide by providing funds to expand the projects to engage Nationwide staff working in Bournemouth.  The investment will be used to engage staff by increasing publicity, holding an event within their main office in Bournemouth and sending promotional material, leaflet holders and posters to their local branches.  By deepening the relationship between the project and the sponsor in this way the REACH investment will provide an opportunity to open up the heritage to a new audience who may otherwise not engage with a local history project.

The OUR PIER project aims to search out interesting, engaging stories to feature in the Our Pier educational DVD which goes into production later in late Spring 2008.
