Thanks to the grant support from the Inclusive Communities Fund, we are delighted to announce the expansion of our outreach programming for participatory community engagement around Parade – The Giant Wheel in five local authorities: Birmingham, Dudley, Redditch, Sandwell, Solihull & Walsall. Additionally, we will be bringing community workshops to Newcastle-under-Lyme, Winchester, Bridgend, Thurrock, Whitehaven, and Yeovil.
This programme features a series of outreach creative workshops focusing on movement, wellbeing, and storytelling for and with children and young people, families, and older community members. Our participatory programme aims to offer a transformative, inclusive, and accessible experience, uniting communities, celebrating diversity, and exploring the collective and unifying power of storytelling. We will be collaborating with participants and groups in primary schools, colleges, SEND schools, care homes, migrant and refugee communities, the LGBTQ+ community, and local artists and creatives.
