Meet the people behind some of the wonderful projects that are unlocking the potential and creativity of young people in Coseley…

Beatfreeks – East Coseley is working in partnership with Beatfreeks, a youth organisation based in Birmingham, to unlock the potential of young people in the area. It started with a skateboarding party in the park, followed by a 16 week programme of Friday night activities at Clayton Park Youth Centre, which kicked off with an open-air pop-up cinema last September. The weekly events were rapidly co-designed and hosted with young people, in response to their creative ideas and interests. Activities including poetry, crafting, filmmaking, circus skills, singing and comedy were all enjoyed by young people in the area.

Music Moves – East Coseley Big Local is supporting an exciting new programme called Music Moves and an associated recording studio in Coseley. Music moves is a programme designed to positively impact the emotional well-being of young people.

Maybe you have a passion for making, growing, designing projects or helping people in your community to feel less isolated? Perhaps you have an inventive idea to use one of Coseley’s indoor or outdoor green spaces? There are all sorts of ways you can bring your special sparkle to Coseley.

We’re also on the lookout for passionate people of all ages to join the East Coseley Big Local partnership, to oversee the shared vision and plan for East Coseley Big Local!

Hope to see you at the event!
