DEVELOPING COMMUNITIES OF EXCELLENCE.
Evolving out of the Big People Music ethos, Big People Community CIC is a network of creative and social entrepreneurial changemakers, developing communities of excellence.
We enable social development and address inequality by empowering marginalised people, developing them as community leaders, strengthening community ideas and local networks using education and creativity.
We do this in three ways:
- By delivering creative community projects that leave people feeling powerful and inspired.
- By working with organisations and individuals to empower normally underrepresented people to take a lead in running their own creative projects or events with a positive social impact.
- By adding value to a network of creative change-makers and creating opportunities for them.
BPC works within communities across Greater Manchester and the UK to empower underrepresented groups through talent mediums. We take an asset-based approach to working with people and places – embracing strengths, skills and the cool stuff that is already going on.
Using cultural storytelling and artistic skills like music production, fashion, drama, visual arts, poetry, mixed media and more we work on themes like identity, community and the social issues that are having an impact on people's lives.
