Company activities and impact

Established by a partnership committed to the empowerment of those who are dispossessed, whether internally displaced or exiles and sanctuary seekers, past and present, Luminescent CIC enables such communities and individuals to explore their experiences through the lens of creative arts and history. The company enables, collects, and makes visible the lost and erased voices of those communities, who do not normally have opportunity to participate in such activities, bearing witness to their journeys from conflict, trauma, and exile to human dignity and hope as living legacies of memories, images, and heritage. It also enables the growth of talent for young people through this work, undertaking education programmes connected with it. The company’s activities provide benefit to and empower participating communities - especially those in UK regional areas and young people - to explore this art and its cultural opportunities, learning new skills as they participate and tell their stories. Luminescent CIC has established and raised substantial funds for Lost Voices, a programme of activities and events which give expression to the lost voices of sanctuary seekers and their receiving communities through the collection and preservation of their stories ad histories of refugee experience. Working through oral history recording, creative visual and performing arts, the project involves young people, in particular – both refugees and those socially disadvantaged born here.

Consultation with stakeholders

The stakeholders to the Company comprise both public and private sector bodies, charities and voluntary organisations, including major local authorities and education establishments.
