Strategic Community Engagement

Are you planning a heritage or arts project and need help scoping a community engagement programme? We have over 15 years experience of working with people of all ages, introducing them to and developing their creative skills, and also connecting them to their local heritage. We can develop a programme, co-ordinate the delivery and will also have a pool of creatives who can deliver the activities or workshops. We have delivered programmes for the The Buttermarket in Redruth, City of Lights CIC, Pydar Project in Truro, Trevow CIC in Helston and Truro’s St Piran’s Day Parade.

Community

We are proud of the place that we call home and it is no mistake that this company has emerged from living in Cornwall. Community sits closely with our values and the varying projects we work on. We can develop and scope, plan, deliver or evaluate a community project. 

“Charlotte is developing a business that links creativity, organisational and administrative services and community development. Her commitment to realising a personal vision of a vibrant society through delivering projects for an expanding client base is a good benchmark for other creative people wanting to make a difference and a living. Her growing portfolio of achievements is slowly but surely generating greater happiness.”

Bert Biscoe – Mayor of Truro 2021

Examples of Projects

  • Pydar Pop Up

    We co-created (with Truro Bid and the Pydar Project) and managed the meanwhile use community facility that was Pydar Pop Up in Truro in 2020 - 2023. This community space offered affordable provision for a broad demographics of people and for a variety of uses, supporting a difficult time during and after Covid-19. It became an integral space for all people to network, connect with like minded people, focus on their well-being and to try our new ideas. We created a young people’s mural in collaboration with street artist Jon Lilly, allowing them to make their mark on the hoarding surrounding the Pydar development. We remain active in the Truro area, with the launch of fully funded street dance workshops for young people, focussing on raising self esteem, trying something new and helping to sign post them to seek extended support.

  • BEANO

    We designed and delivered a series of Summer holiday workshops and activities for the Eden Project, Cornwall in collaboration with Beano. All of the activities were delivered sustainably, recycling materials where possible and employing local practicing artists.

Market Makers

Being creative makes us feel alive and we like to share this with our local community. We currently deliver FREE workshops at the BIG Truro and Newquay Markets, once a month (March - December), allowing anyone to come along, meet an artist and try something new.
