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.
Funded by Arts Council England, with Spread the Word and Central Islington Library as main partners, the scheme is to help writers who wish to take their craft to the next level by providing a safe, supportive and stimulating environment, and giving insight into the professional writing world.
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.
