Did you know you can create a stained glass window effect using tissue paper?
Check out these festive windows created by young people in #Brandon! Brandon Creative Forum worked with them on the project, now installed in the town council building.

Don't they look great?

In July we celebrated 10 years of Creative People and Places, with MP's, projects, and participants from across the country 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

The projects all share the common aim of changing lives for the better in their neighbourhoods through creativity and culture.
