Helen Miah Commissioner for Leisure, Libraries & Culture, Swindon BC
I am passionate about arts, culture, creativity and Swindon.
I've been working for Swindon Borough Council for 9 years in arts, heritage and culture and in April 2012 took up a new role as Commissioner for Leisure, Libraries and Culture. I was also the inspiration behind and the Director of the Big Arts Day.
I enjoy making things happen and especially promoting local talent and inspiring young people. I started my career as a dance and performing arts teacher and have worked in a variety of schools and colleges including Yeovil College, Cirencester College, New College and Churchfields School.
Please get in touch with me if you think there is anything I can do to help you make your creative dream happen!
