community engagement, a new build,

bringing to the area a new cafe restaurant
and food enterprise incubator.

redevelopment of disused docks, we
provided business development support

a future Creative Industries Centre, and

16. The Castleford Project: We founded and delivered a £12m
programme of public realm re-vitalisation of nine public spaces in
Castleford, West Yorkshire. The initiative included a multiple award-
winning bridge, a new public square, several pocket parks and
playgrounds, generated £250m+ of new inward investment and
initiated the formation of three new community groups.
Shiregreen Neighbourhood Challenge: For Sanctuary Housing,
we created an initiative to support local enterprise and community
initiative, in part to provide new workspace and occupy vacant
properties.
Middlesbrough Urban Farming: For One North East,
Middlesbrough Council and several other public agencies, we created
an initiative in which 1000 people grew food in redundant spaces
across the town, and 8000 shared the ‘harvest’ in a town meal in the
main public square. The healthy eating venture has been repeated
seven times and a new horticultural training facility has been created in
its support.
Neighbourhoods are our past,
present and future.
