We’ve been adding our unique blend of acumen, rigour and inspiration to creative organisations almost 30 years.
It’s helped them to discover an entrepreneurial edge; guided them towards better governance and revealed new and unexpected streams of income and funding. In partnership with our business members, as part of our extensive network and, sometimes, simply with us, each arts member has been given the assistance, confidence and opportunity to thrive.

“Our relationship with A&B NI has been without exception both supportive and productive, and has had a huge impact on me and our organisation. It has given me access to training in fundraising and business planning that I would otherwise not have had access to. It has also helped support our relationships with our business partners, enabling us to deliver way beyond their expectations. Most recently, A&B NI has provided us with an exceptional fundraising intern and thanks to the A&B NI Board Bank Programme, an impressive financial director from a leading NI business is about to join our Board.”
