Social Arts Club: Kings Heath Calling

Since 2023, we have run annual workshops and engagement projects in Kings Heath, Northampton, building relationships with residents and stakeholders through the Kings Heath Partnership Group. This work has shown that meaningful engagement takes time and continuity.

Supported by UON’s Public and Community Engagement fund, West Northamptonshire Council’s Community Safety and Engagement Team, the Community Arts Fund, and Coventry University’s Research Excellence funding (with in-kind support from our research team), we have co-produced wellbeing asset maps (Mapping Kiosk), zines (Kings Heath Calling), a textile banner (The People are Stitching), and a short film (A Good Enough Place).
