Harrogate-based financial planning service bdb has committed to a third year of partnership with Opera North in recognition of the value the arts can play in connecting people and enhancing wellbeing.
“We are thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Opera North for the third consecutive year. Recently, more than ever, the arts have played a key role in promoting wellbeing and delivering joy, and bdb are pleased to be supporting Opera North in their mission.

Since the two companies started working together, engagement with the arts has become an integral part of bdb’s philosophy, an enthusiasm it has shared with its clients through an exclusive annual event at Bowcliffe Hall in Leeds. The partnership has also enabled Opera North to extend its reach by growing both its digital and community presence, ensuring that many more people have the opportunity to interact with music and live performance and to enjoy the associated benefits that arts participation brings.
