What makes you feel welcome in a gallery or museum? We’ve been asking this question as part of listening project for @bradford2025 exploring perceptions of Cartwright Hall.. what might support more people to Cross the Threshold next year? wearestreetspace.org/projects/cross…


Great to hear from a lot of my community (s)hero’s @DemeMove this weekend.. inspiring to imagine what neighbourhoods of care might look like. Shared experiments to build ‘doorstep connections’ & enjoyed hearing how in Jordan you care for 11 🏠 either side of you! #socialcontract


Yes, great news and we’re running one on Jane Street, Sunday 13th October! Feel free to pop in ▶️ @playingout

Play Streets are now possible across Bradford. The City has made it simple for organisations or individuals to close their streets to traffic (for free) and make them safe havens for children to play on. More information and application forms at bradford.gov.uk/transport-and-…



Great to see this @Above_Ground_ led project covered in the T&A a really pioneering project creating accessible, context specific guidance to future proof heritage homes! Could be a great model for other neighbourhoods with similar 🏠 types.. #Saltaire #Bradford @WestYorkshireCA

A new project is future-proofing Saltaire’s 150 year old homes by making them more energy efficient. dlvr.it/TDs8RK 🔗 Link below

Hope this Saltaire Retrofit Reimagined handbook will help #Saltaire folk make their homes less cold & drafty and much more energy efficient. Great work!! @Above_Ground_ @phillybanister

🏘 Saltaire Retrofit Revisited have just launched their new retrofit handbook - 'A handbook for improving the comfort and energy efficiency of your Saltaire home'. 💚 We have been really pleased to support this fantastic project. Link below 👇

Thanks to #collectiveimagination practice seed funding stewarded by @Huddlecraft & others we were able to gather together toddlers & carers, develop ideas & test a small scale reimagining of our town centre as seen from approx 95cm #toddlertown #MunicipalImagination @ShipleyTC

Quick write up of our #toddlertown experiments in #Shipley & some immediate learnings we observed.. lots of building on pioneers in this space #childfriendly #activation #Urban95 #prototyping @PlayfulAnytime @timrgill @civicandsocial medium.com/street-space/t…

Thanks for covering our @NEYorksNLincs funded Pathways to Nature project 📰 ⬇️! It’s been a labour of love over last few months to revitalise the snicket route, add nature friendly 🐝 elements & cool signage - huge thanks 🙏🏼 to all our community partners locally 📍

Ooo this would be a fab opportunity for any communities interested in testing creative ways to activate unloved / unused spaces in high streets, corners & parks.. let your imagination run wild & get in touch with @PlayfulAnytime ⬇️⬇️⬇️

We’re putting together a funding application to celebrate 10 years of Playbox (this October) with the hopes of supporting 10 further communities (anywhere in the UK) to have @playbox01 resident for a month in 2025 Will you let us know if this would be of interest to you?

Pumped for the launch of our #pilot Neighbourhood Green Mile route in Frizinghall tomorrow.. we’ll have 🗺️ to give away, meet & greet with community co-designers @FrizinghallPS #BradfordNewChurch & live music in the snicket! Come & join to celebrate local green spaces & signage📍

This project has been so rich in insight & relationship building because of our approach embedding a #farming insider in our team to guide appropriate & sensitive #listening approaches Is this happening in other #LNRS areas? How can we break down the barriers so it happens more?

Proud of the insights shared in this blog written by our #youngfarmer #engagement & #outreach worker who joined our team to guide our #LNRS #listening work for @WestYorkshireCA Putting #trust #honesty & willingness to listen & learn at the heart wearestreetspace.org/thinking/insid…
