7. Our projects

8. • Brief designed for Creative Conscience Awards 2017
• Generate solutions around ‘connectedness’
• Engagement & promotion activities
(video brief, live online panel, signposting)
• Can we fund the winning idea?

9. Ideas-to-action

10. Scene Through Your Eyes
An Immersive Theatre Production
• A production to: make the audience connect with the struggle and adversity
faced by those who are forced to leave their home and become a refugee.
• Behind the scenes, the production will create opportunities for people resettled
locally including: script development, set design and build, audio and visual,
production assistance, wardrobe and make up, budget management and
general support across the duration of the event.

11. Supporting third sector
with a creative resource

12. Our Challenge
We have a lot going on.
The resource of our network is fantastic and allows us to do so much more with our
time, to do things bigger, and better… but we cannot run solely on volunteer time.
We currently have some sponsorship / supporter funding.
We have the ability to charge for some activities – CSR / employee engagement.
We are too young for most grant funding (12 month) but also do not want to be tied
to or shaped by funding criteria.
BUT … We need to develop a sustainable income model to support the work of the
core team and core activities.
Is this…. Membership? Products? Chargeable services? Fundraising? Something else?
