Supporting local artists, musicians and creatives by helping save and create platforms for performance, exhibition and collaboration. b. Organising cultural, cross-community and marginalised community events that increase access to the arts and promote cultural heritage, catering to a wide audience. c. Enhancing community wellbeing through access and promotion of art and culture, fostering a sense of belonging and shared cultural identity. d. Provide research and data that shows the unique relevance of late-night spaces for community cohesion in Northern Ireland which can also be used globally. e. Capturing, documenting and safeguarding the heritage and history of dancefloors in Northern Ireland. 2. To advance community development and citizenship insofar as is charitable according to the law of Northern Ireland as follows: In the context of Northern Ireland's unique social fabric, Free The Night endeavours to foster community cohesion and citizenship through: a. Collaborating with local authorities, police and transport bodies to ensure a safe nightlife environment, contributing to the overall safety and cohesion of the community. b. Increasing accessibility to cultural events and the arts, especially for marginalized or underrepresented groups within the community. c. Advocating for progressive changes in entertainment licensing and the night-time economy to create a more inclusive and equitable nightlife scene that reflects the best practices seen in other parts of the UK and Europe and allows new creatives and curators to develop community spaces at night. This in essence is to allow new curators of the arts fair access which has historically been in the hands of those who use these spaces for profiteering. d. Addressing the 'creative drain' by creating opportunities and environments that encourage creatives to remain and thrive within Northern Ireland. For the purpose of this clause, ‘creatives’ means those who are paid or unpaid, and create or curate art and artistic expression. This includes subcultures and those who promote subcultures.
