Encouraging people to get involved with their community
Building communities – it starts with a tiny connection.
A conversation, an idea, a talent, a skill – small sparks lead to big ideas. We all need relationships with the people around us, a shared vision for our place and space, a strong sense of community and the chance to spend time together doing things we care about.

The Adult Rising Stars of Rothwell
Miranda from Community First Yorkshire speaks to the Adult Rising Stars of Rothwell, a local group that contains a mixture of past am-dram society members and two groups that teach dancing and singing to young and older children.
Miranda went to visit them late last year and they were practising for their upcoming show. This was an opportunity for all three groups to showcase what they had learnt since September.
