Bountagu
Welcome to the Bountagu ‘Our Bigger Story’ website. This is part of the multi media evaluation of 15 Big Local areas in England. The website is an opportunity to follow what is changing in Bountagu as a result of Big Local over a ten year period.
The aim of the website is to share the learning from everything that is happening in Bountagu with other Big Local areas and highlight what works in communities with a wider audience of practitioners and policy makers.
The DJ & MC Academy engages young people in creative activities, fostering positive relationships, and bridging gaps between age groups. Funding from the Enfield Local Fund allowed the academy to explore new ways of bringing together different generations through music. It reinforced the importance of creating inclusive environments and and involved young people and older residents facing issues of loneliness and isolation.
