Ingol & Tanterton sits in the 10% most deprived postcodes in the country. Our stats show an increasing demand for our services. People have multiple issues affecting their quality of life; many suffer from anxiety, depression and loneliness, with nothing to do and nowhere to go.
SUMMER VISION aims to build skills and confidence through creative practice, using Eurovision as a tool for celebrating diversity. Residents will have ownership and a platform to share their voice. In tumultuous times of economic hardship due to the cost of living crisis, SUMMER VISION aims to act as a positive indicator for looking forward as a community, building bridges, social cohesion, developing new transferrable skills regardless of age, background, disability or employment status.
