Company activities and impact

Local Creative Lab CIC was established in May 2024 to deliver creative community engagement, cultural development activity, and support for local creative practitioners in Glossop and the wider High Peak. During this first financial year, activity focused on establishing the CIC’s infrastructure and securing initial project funding. In July 2024, the CIC secured £3,000 of UK Shared Prosperity Funding (UKSPF) to develop and implement a communications and marketing plan to support the launch and visibility of the CIC and its community-facing work. Key activities undertaken during the year included: Continuing to operate and support Glossop Creates, a grassroots creative network supporting local artists, designers, makers and producers. Hosting four in-person networking events, bringing together local creatives, businesses and partners to build collaboration and peer support. Supporting delivery of the Glossop element of the Derbyshire Makes festival, contributing to increased visibility of local creative practice and participation. Delivering a programme of curated “Wanders” – artist-led walks that connect residents with local heritage, landscape and creative storytelling. Testing facilitation approaches for Platform 31 as part of the North Derbyshire Culture Coalition, contributing to regional cultural collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Supporting the Friends of Victoria Hall in the early development of ideas for the future use of Victoria Hall, Glossop. This included facilitating exploratory conversations, arranging “go and see” visits to comparable cultural venues, advising on organisational development, supporting their Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) application, and introducing the group to Local Creative Lab’s wider creative network to strengthen partnerships and future programming potential. The company’s activities have benefited the community by: Providing structured opportunities for local creatives to connect, collaborate and increase their visibility. Supporting civic pride and cultural participation in Glossop and the wider High Peak. Strengthening local creative networks and capacity during a period of reduced public cultural funding. Contributing to the early-stage development of a sustainable future model for Victoria Hall as a community and cultural asset. Building the foundations for a sustainable, community-led creative hub model. As this was the CIC’s first operational year, emphasis was placed on infrastructure, partnership-building and establishing sustainable systems to support future growth. Any surplus generated has been retained within the CIC to support its ongoing community objectives.
