Our Community Projects

Our community work spans youth projects, cultural events, educational activities, mentoring and more. We work in a highly collaborative way to leverage everyone's expertise and enhance our social impact.  

​

We invest grants into your work, taking great care to deliver projects to a high standard. 

​

We work with consultants, facilitators, trainers and educators to deliver our projects online and in-person. Our roots are in Suffolk, but we also work further afield.

​

Our team are experts in arts, culture, history, education, diversity and inclusion, and communications. ​Through our community work, we aim to;

​

• Create new and exciting opportunities for young people.

• Champion the community's talent and our achievements.

• Provide opportunities to engage in Black culture and heritage.

• Create and develop opportunities for young people.
