We were commissioned as a community anchor research organisation by Birmingham City Council to work on a community-led collaborative action learning report.

This work was designed to help build a strategy for the ‘Levelling Up’ funding for East Birmingham Regeneration 💚

[Grand Union @grandunionltd]

We then collated the research and commissioned Grand Union studio artist Sarah Taylor Silverwood to work with the community to design a 'Visual “community voice” Action Plan' to make visible the voices that are not usually heard in city planning for community support decisions.
