Family Explorers North East (FENE) uses a research-based approach to help families in the region enjoy a wider range of cultural experiences. Giving families a voice is key and there are now over 12,000 families participating. A Facebook Group community provides a platform for families where they can recommend events and places to one another and ask questions about the practical aspects of their visits and, through this group and an e-newsletter, FENE curates high quality family-friendly events making it easier to choose where to go.
