SNEINTON
WHAT?
SNEINTON AIMS >>
Our project within Sneinton is based on the idea of creating a sense of identity, as well as improving the areas for the community. Participation and interaction form the heart of our projects, this time we aimed to create furniture to transform local spaces, using the ideas and designs of the community.
how?
We hosted several community-based events, workshops and interviews in order to start a conversation about the identity of Sneinton. The main event we held was an exhibition at Nottingham Central Library where visitors were asked in different ways to interact with our project, giving their thoughts and opinions.
SNEINTON METHODS >>
Both the Sneinton and Carrington projects started in the same place, meeting with Sneinton Alchemy and Carrington Tenants and Residents Association in various locations in Nottingham. We began these projects by learning about both Sneinton and Carrington, and opening a conversation about how we can work with local communities to gain a sense of identity as well as improve the areas.
SNEINTON ALCHEMY
>>
Sneinton Alchemy defines itself as a "CIC (Community Interest Company) run by locals that work for the benefit of the community, to improve the neighbourhood and support local enterprise". The group engages with the community in many different ways through projects and events in order to help develop the area and create a sense of identity.

The Carrington Tenants and Residents Association
work on different projects in the Carrington area. With a community garden at the heart of the association, the group were keen to expand projects and get involved with our project.
In 2010 the association created history trail, a detailed guide to the different history of buildings and areas of Carrington. One of the main routes into the area is through a passage leading off Mansfield Rd, this is an area which has already had work done on it in the form of a colourful mural, mosaic bench and shrub border.
