Living Communities CIC

Living Communities CIC is currently micro with big ambitions. Our strapline is Connecting Communities With Creativity and Nature. All of the directors have a wealth of experience of working within the community as creatives and this will begin to shine through the older Living Communities CIC becomes. We are based in Bexhill and currently operate in Bexhill and neighbours and Tooting, South London and neighbours. It started slowly as we looked for funding and began to plan our first year of operation. We quickly lost Jamie Burns, one of our founding directors who resigned due to growing family commitments, it was a shock but family comes first and it was understandable. Uwazimife Adaba, Gemma Lloyd, Naomi Holdbrook and Jennifer Walker-Lawes continue and balance the work between Bexhill and Tooting. We are focused on creating more opportunities for our local communities. We meet regularly and online to discuss our projects and ambitions for future projects and we work transparently so that everyone is aware what everyone else is working on within the CIC. We have a robust safeguarding policy and more than two thirds of the directors and associate artists we work with are neurodivergent and we are very aware not to discriminate and have robust proceedures in place. It's a supportive and creative environment and we hope to enable and empower much of our local community as we continue to expand.
