Start a conversation
A community-first approach
We listen to the people a project is intended to support and develop activity around shared goals, local knowledge and available resources. Projects are planned with good governance, safeguarding, accessibility, responsible budgeting and meaningful evaluation.
Schools & education
Creative learning that complements existing provision and strengthens confidence and expression.
Community groups
Workshops, projects and events built around members’ interests and local knowledge.
Health & public services
Safe, inclusive programmes supporting connection, confidence and wellbeing.
Funders & businesses
Grant partnerships, sponsorship, in-kind support and skills-based volunteering.
What a partnership can achieve
Projects can support community engagement, young people’s skills, wellbeing, reduced isolation, volunteering, employability, live events and accessible routes into arts participation.
Rooted in Knowsley
Our longer-term ambition is a welcoming creative hub in Kirkby, supported by outreach across the borough while programmes and partnerships continue to grow.
