Ray Spencer
Ray Spencer is the Director of the Customs House, South Tyneside's flagship arts and culture centre. Ray sits on the LSP Board and is Chair of the Culture and Wellbeing priority group of the LSP.
Ray works hard to ensure that culture is at the heart of everything we do and this has been enshrined in our Local Area Agreement.
South Tyneside has recently been awarded £2.5m Culture funding and was singled out for praise by the Minister of Culture.
The funding will be used to develop cultural activities in one of our most disadvantaged areas over a three year period and the Culture and Wellbeing priority theme group will have a leading role in developing that work.
