Many of our activities are intergenerational, they are open to all and free. Come along to one of our workshops, you can find the full programme detailed in our newsletter and the What’s On section of the website.

Our charitable strategic aims which guide the engagement programme are: improving community cohesion, improving physical and mental health and wellbeing, increasing cultural development, reducing social isolation, and increasing environmental literacy.

Our activities have also been guided by feedback from community members: we have been told that community members would like more opportunities to come together with different generations; that they would like to celebrate local nature and respond to the climate crisis; and that they would like to celebrate LGBTQIA+ lived experiences.

We of course would love to work creatively with everyone in the community, but we do have limited resources and need to think about the ways in which our work can have the most impact. We are currently working with community groups who may not usually engage with art or movement practices, and may have many barriers to access to do so: these could be economic barriers, barriers because they are from a community of identity which is marginalised by mainstream culture, barriers of disability, etc.

We collaborate with other community-serving organisations who are expert in working with their community members to do this work. These partners include: Kingsbridge Community College, Kingsbridge Community Primary School, Kingsbridge Town Council, Kingsbridge Climate Action, Kingsbridge Celebrates Christmas, Kingsbridge Fair Week, Family Advice Support Team FAST, Next Steps Together CIC and Kingsbridge Natural History Society.

Yes, the team at HH includes those based in Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Plymouth.

The majority of the voluntary board members are based in the South West including five trustees who are actively involved in the Kingsbridge community.
