Lorraine Worsley-Carter MBE DL

I am proud to be an Ambassador to Proud & Loud Arts, as soon as I saw their first production, at which, as part of the audience, I was challenged immediately and throughout the performance and  I knew that I wanted to be involved with this forward thinking, ever evolving group, that pushes artistic  boundaries and buttons and continues to strive for excellence.
