Our Story
At Living Communities, we believe in helping communities create a better world, where people can find friendship, happiness, and good health. Our focus is on three themes: Living Wild, Make & Create, and Playing & Doing. Living Wild is all about reconnecting with nature and discovering the beauty and wonder of the natural world. Make & Create is about creating and crafting, whether it's through heritage projects or other means. Playing & Doing is about exercising, storytelling, and making music, all of which promote physical and mental health. We believe that by promoting these themes, we can create happier, healthier communities that are more connected to each other and to the world around them. Join us in this mission today!
Our Approach
Living Communities CIC has been designed to enable local communities to create, find friendship and be happier and healthier together. We offer three big chunky themes, to make it easier we call them: Living Wild - reconnecting with nature Make + Create - creating, researching, crafting, heritage projects Playing + Doing - exercising, storytelling, making music We’ve given you a tiny example of what each theme is about but each one can be pretty endless. We can tailor make a workshop to just how you want it and we'll also be inviting you to come and join us. We're focusing on East Sussex and South London but very happy to travel anywhere within the UK. We're a CIC which makes it easier for us to seek funding so a lot of what we do will be free of charge to individuals. Living Communities has been birthed and is directed by Jamie Burns, Gemma Lloyd and Kes Adaba. We will be looking for other people to join us, so do say hello if you're interested in anything or all we do.
