Crane Creatives Coast CIC continues to champion and support Eastern European (EE) artists and communities in Leicester and beyond. Building on the strong foundation of outreach, partnerships, and cultural programming established in our first year, we have significantly expanded our activities and secured multiple funding streams to deliver high-impact community projects. Highlights from this year include: Beats & Bites: Successfully delivered with over 90 unique attendees, bringing families together through EE-rooted music, food, and storytelling. Community Fridge HUBB: Secured funding and launched a weekly service supporting around 15 local residents, reducing isolation while creating opportunities for shared conversations and cultural exchange. RootLoom Project: Delivered across 6 days in summer, engaging 50–100 participants per day through immersive theatrical experiences and visual arts activities in Leicester Libraries. The project will continue through Autumn and Winter 2025, expanding to provide further creative activities and sustained engagement for EE artists and local communities. Folk Crafts & Rhythms: Secured Heritage Lottery funding for a programme beginning October 2025, designed to preserve and celebrate EE folk traditions, crafts, and music with broad community participation. Take It Outside: A day-long event for community fridge users and their families, offering storytelling, reading, and creative craft-making in outdoor spaces, promoting wellbeing and intergenerational connection. Move & Groove: Secured Sport England funding for a physical activity and dance programme launching in Autumn 2025, engaging EE families and the wider community in movement and cultural expression. Through these initiatives, Crane Creatives Coast CIC is strengthening its role as a creative hub, delivering practical community support while promoting cultural heritage, wellbeing, and artistic expression. Our projects continue to demonstrate impact by reducing social isolation, fostering intercultural understanding, and creating inclusive spaces for EE artists and families to thrive.
Our stakeholders remain central to shaping our activities. They include: Eastern European artists and creatives, seeking development, visibility, and collaboration. Families and individuals using the community fridge, many of whom are economically disadvantaged and benefit from cultural and wellbeing activities. Leicester Libraries and Museums, co-delivering cultural, educational, and artistic projects. Local schools, community groups, and wider public audiences, engaging with EE heritage, music, arts, and wellbeing initiatives. This year, consultation has taken the form of: Feedback from Beats & Bites participants, which highlighted a desire for more regular events blending culture, food, and music. Discussions with community fridge users, identifying a need for family-friendly cultural days (leading to the Take It Outside initiative). Workshops and conversations with artists, guiding the development of RootLoom and shaping the design of the upcoming Folk Crafts & Rhythms project. Ongoing partnership meetings with libraries and museums, ensuring activities are co-created and embedded in trusted public venues. As a result of these consultations, Crane Creatives Coast CIC has tailored its programming to balance practical community needs (e.g. access to food, wellbeing support) with cultural enrichment (arts, heritage, creative learning). Stakeholder voices continue to drive our approach, ensuring our projects remain responsive, inclusive, and sustainable.
