Create Community Wealth - a new project |
LET'S GROW IDEAS.
We're excited to introduce Create Community Wealth, a new and exciting long term project looking for people with an idea, or people looking to find something they would love to do. We are here to inspire you to take forward your ideas for a business or creative enterprise.
Based between Muirhouse and Wester Hailes, we are a joint initiative between WHALE Arts and North Edinburgh Arts, in partnership with SCOREscotland and Passion4Fusion. We are part of Culture Collective, a network of 26 participatory arts projects shaped by local communities alongside artists and creative organisations. Funded by Scottish Government emergency COVID-19 funds through Creative Scotland, these projects will take place across Scotland from mid 2021 to 2023.
Over the next year, we will be working with the communities of Muirhouse and Wester Hailes to help people create and develop skills and confidence in making products or providing unique services. We believe in COMMUNITY WEALTH BUILDING- a model for making our communities a better place to live, building inclusive economies and providing opportunities. Our long term plan is to help locals to develop micro enterprises, set up unique selling platforms, routes to market and much more.
We would love to hear more about any ideas you may have and how we can help to make them a reality. At this early stage, we are doing various community consultation events which will help us plan for the next phase of the project.
