Producers of Whitley Bay Carnival, Working with the Community to Make Meaningful Things Happen
Bringing communities together in celebration, making meaningful things happen and building traditions.
Making partnerships with local groups and individuals helping realise their ambitions for their neighbourhood.
Using modest budgets as the seed to raise private sponsorship and grant funding.
Adding value to existing programmes of development work.
We believe that community activity and celebration knit together allowing new stories to be told about a neighbourhood or a city.
Personal anecdotes become the stories that define new traditions, gradually changing perceptions.
When local people take part in making things happen the community starts to take ownership and works with local authorities and organisations as a partner rather than a passive consumer
