We are an arts and educational charity with over 15 years experience. Our work rests on the principles of participation with local communities, working to give people a voice using a choice of creative mediums.
Our projects involve using mediums such as film making, animation, oral history interviews, fine art, design, photography and interactive websites as an engaging and exciting way of learning about and exploring issues important to communities as well as encouraging greater interaction between different generations and cultures.
We work with schools, charities and local government departments to design and deliver projects that address issues important to particular communities and organisations. To find out more about how we work click here.

A photography project, working with Poole Intermediate Care Services (ICP). This was initially to reproduce the ‘Beautiful’ project, but has quickly turned into a social get together where participants share photographs and remember aspects of their lives. Some photography goes on within the sessions. What has been successful is the inclusion of the older peoples photography club, the Happy Snappers. This club is a direct result of the ‘Beautiful’ project, three years ago.
One idea being developed is to compile a book about the valuable work undertaken by the ICP team, as this service will probably be cut in the near future. The book will form a record of their achievement (they are just over a year in operation) and show the wide benefit of providing this type of service to people, and their carers, who suffer from dementia or Alzheimers.

We have been working with an intergenerational group of residents on the Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate in NW London to make a documentary film about the estate. The film is being launched this weekend at a cinema and the whole estate is invited as well as Neave Brown, the architect who designed it, and anyone else interested in coming along.
Saturday 15th May, 11am
Tricycle Cinema
269 Kilburn High Road
London NW6 7JR
Residents living on The Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate (commonly known as Rowley Way) have seen their landmark Grade II* listed estate depicted on film and TV for years, often incorrectly as a crime-ridden hell-hole. As well as film crews the estate is a favourite among architects who come from all over the world to photograph and write about it.
Residents decided to make their own film exploring the ideas behind the design of the estate and in the process interviewed neighbours aged 3 to 103 as well as the architect who designed the estate and others involved in it’s construction.
This is your chance to get under the skin of the Estate, beyond the architecture students, beyond the reputation, beyond The Bill.
A Q&A will follow the screening with filmmakers and the architect, Neave Brown.
