A Safer Stronger Communities Commission
Connected Communities was a commission from Safer Stronger Communities in 2025 which was delivered by Blystra Arts between February 2025 to July 2026. The initiative used creativity as a way of unlocking conversations about Newquay, such as how safe it is to live in the town, and explored potential barriers faced by young people to staying, working and living happily in the town in the future. The project was a data focussed project, and culminated in a final project report of findings which you can read here.
Connected Communities supported the delivery of a number of events during 2025, most notably, Empowering Newquay’s Future in May and Look Out Festival in September 2025.
