Barrowcliff

Barrowcliff Big Local Partnership has just had its final Big Local Plan approved by Local Trust. This Plan will take the Partnership to the end of the programme in 2025 with lots of exciting projects to look forward to. That's not the end though - Barrowcliff is working with many other Partnerships across the country to develop a network building on the foundations of the Big Local programme to ensure some form of continuity. The working title for this network is "The Day After Tomorrow" which has already captured the half of the Big Local Partnerships in the UK. Watch this space!!!

A successful Community Clean-Up event was hosted by Barrowcliff Big Local on Friday 2 July as part of their Civic Pride initiative. The day was deemed a huge success due to the partnership approach to the event with the commitment of so many local agencies and volunteers pulling together and working to help keep Barrowcliff clean, tidy and a nice place to live.

Creative Briefs have worked alongside children, aged 6-14, at Briercliffe Children's Centre in Scarborough to create a series of educational "Autism Awareness' videos. With support from Arts Council England, Barrowcliff Big Local, Embrace and Children's University Scarborough, the videos are free to use by individuals or groups to deliver as workshops, training or home education purposes. This also includes free guided teaching notes with a range of discussion points.
