Mission

By working closely with communities in St Ann’s, Sneinton and Mapperley we develop meaningful relationships and partnerships. We co-create an environment for communities where they can make things happen.

We explore opportunities and unlock potential through employability, wellbeing, places and spaces, community activities and grants. We celebrate communities through storytelling and activities. Provide spaces and opportunities for communities to connect, share and learn. Striving to be inclusive and accessible we use clear communication so all feel welcomed and can take part.
