Company activities and impact

The CIC facilitates community-engaged workshops, creative discourse and final creative realisations in the form of public art (murals). The CIC’s primary aim is to improve buildings and gangways that have fallen into disrepair, rejuvenating public environments.34Bus’s workshops and final art pieces put a particular emphasis on listening to the communities surrounding the space they are working in. This creates artwork striving to represent the values and thoughts of the people who have been involved with the design process. We have been operating under the name of 34Bus from January 2022. During the financial year 2022-2023, the CIC activities have benefited the community in the following ways:Neglected public spaces that are used by the community have been rejuvenated and celebrated through art.Residents local to the public artworks have been able to reconnect with their immediate public spaces, either by contributing ideas to design processes, volunteering with painting activities or passing by, becoming immersed in the pride that surrounds a rejuvenated space. 34Bus’s work on gangways such as underpasses have encouraged more people to walk and cycle to regularly visited destinations.Project by project 34Bus has engaged with 5 schools,a social prescribing facilitator, 6 community groups and 2 healthcare providers, connecting them with their wider community through collective creative activity. We have worked with over 200 individuals from the community to develop ideas and realise artworks. Some of these links have also provided volunteering and learning opportunities for young people of school age. Rejuvenating outside elements has encouraged wider discussions on how to use spaces to most benefit the community (this is especially relevant when thinking about what buildings are being used for)

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are local residents residing around 34Bus’s art works. The directors of the company are proactive on each project, engaging with local communities. 34Bus have worked on multiple projects local to the directors,where their local knowledge has been used to seek out spaces and groups that would benefit from creative activity.We are present at local council networking events, keeping up to date with local events and discourse. Our workshops have been developed and adapted with the needs of the local community in mind (age, accessibility needs etc.) These range from surveys, open drawing workshops and Zoom idea development. We ask everyone participating in design workshops, volunteering, and passersby to give us feedback, which we continually use to improve. This has helped us build a toolbox of techniques to develop accessible workshops and relevant artwork. Our research has enabled us to identify that; on every project, passers-by have marked a positive effect from having a newly painted space, Young people have felt more engaged with their local spaces, taking more pride in their areapeople have felt safer in painted spaces.Older people have enjoyed connecting with younger people and sharing ideas around their mutual spacesAn artwork on the outside of a building encourages positive action on the inside of a building. Our social media spaces and website act as a space for public feedback and connection.
