Colchester Arts Centre is a great #ThirdPlace in the UK. Stephen Rohan writes on MyThirdPlace: "Colchester’s Arts Centre has been running since 1980 (one year before I was born) and is arguably one of Colchester’s most important creative spaces. The venue is run by a dedicated team of locals who have a passion for music, the arts and entertainment. As a focal point of the Colchester community, The Arts Centre engages in lots of outreach work that directly benefits Colchester residents and others. Current programmes include African Families UK which provides a space for African families to get together, and the second is the recently formed Gamechanger Pt 2, which aims to help those in often-neglected areas around Colchester and Tendring such as Jaywick. The venue is also partnered with local and nationwide charities including Nightshelter and Colchester FoodBank, and it’s possible to make donations via the website, as well as donations to the Arts Centre itself" Read Stephen's full article here: https://lnkd.in/eHF_YFsk #thirdplace #thirdspace #socialspace

Between 2023 and 2024, we awarded over £5 million to third-sector organisations, social enterprises, and individuals dedicated to creating a fairer, happier and healthier Midlands. One of these organisations was Legacy West Midlands, a Birmingham-based charity, who received £142,551 from the Inclusive Communities Fund. In 2024, they delivered Journeys, a community arts programme that celebrated the cultural heritage of Commonwealth communities and raised the profile of local cultural organisations across the West Midlands. The Journey's programme included : 🎶 This Train – A live musical performance celebrated Sister Rosetta Tharpe and transatlantic Black music, with shows in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Coventry. 🎭 Mini Saathis – A youth theatre project in Aston culminated with free performances for participants. 🌊 Nowka Bais – A Bangladeshi dragon boat regatta brought Brindley Place to life, complete with street food and stage performances. 🌳 Outdoor Arts & Learning – Over 1,260 primary school children in Handsworth and Sandwell participated in arts and learning activities. This impactful programme, supported by six local partners, is a testament to the vibrant cultural communities thriving across the West Midlands.
