Writing Our Legacy CIC is currently working with South Downs National Park Association and Changing Chalk, led by National Trust, to deliver programmes which connect Black, Asian and ethnically diverse communities and creatives to the landscape of the South Downs through art and storytelling.
This is a four-year programme from 2022 to 2025 that will engage the general public and writers, creatives and audiences from the Black, Asian and ethnically diverse communities, connecting them to the unique chalk grassland of the Sussex Downs and the communities of the urban coastal fringe of Brighton & Hove, Lewes and Eastbourne, through literature, creative writing, storytelling and other arts and cultural activity.
The Engagement Fund is part of the council’s Communities Fund, which supports local community groups, voluntary organisations and not-for-profit social enterprise.
