STRENGTHENING PLACE

All communities face challenges. Yours might be a waning town centre, with shabby shops and no green spaces. Somewhere else people are worried about a dwindling population with attendant school closures and the withdrawal of bus services. Somewhere else the major employer is under threat.

These issues can be familiar or entirely unique. Either way, there is a choice: let things take their course or do something about it.

Dig under the surface of any community and you’ll unearth extraordinary riches of ideas, skills, experience, contacts, and energy. Pull them all together and you can create a powerful force far greater than the individual sum of the parts.

People will pull together if they believe their efforts will make a difference. There are communities across the land pooling their imaginations to make the most of what’s around them whether these be skills, beauty spots, local heritage, buildings to get stuck into, or creative schemes that address people’s issues and concerns.

Through our place projects like “Wild imagining” and “Amble Board Walk”, Creativity Works has championed transformation through creative collaboration.
