Kingswood Arts ‘Our House’ Consultation

During the Spring and Summer 2023 Kingswood Arts ran a series of workshops, events & consultations with 8 groups of residents on the Kingswood Estate and surrounding areas. The project was called 'Our House' and was all about finding out the ideas, priorities and dreams of our community so that we could build a co-created programme and organisation that meets the needs of our community. We would love to share some of the findings and outcomes from the project with local partners, key stakeholders and other interested parties.
