Inclusive Communities Fund announcement

Exciting News! We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded a grant from the Inclusive Communities Fund.

The funding is supporting our participatory community engagement models around Parade – The Giant Wheel in 5 local authorities: Birmingham, Dudley, Redditch, Sandwell & Walsall. This programme of work features a series of outreach creative workshops in movement, wellbeing and storytelling for and with Children and Young People, Families and Older community members. 

Our participatory programme aims to be transformative, inclusive and accessible experience uniting communities, celebrating diversity, and exploring the collective and uniting power of storytelling. We’ll be working with participants and groups in Primary Schools, Colleges, SEND Schools, Care Homes, Migrants & Refugees, LGBTQ+ community and local artists/creatives.
