beyond the castle

Co-Design community project

Wash were tasked in helping to deliver a ‘Co-Design’ project involving one of the oldest parts of Lancaster. The unused Park Land behind the famous Castle Prison. An area that was now being used by gangs and the homeless and had become an unfriendly place.

The ‘Co-Design’ project was to engage local people to develop ideas that would help make it a better use of space. Potentially giving the Park Land a new look by using the ‘creativity’ of its local people.

delivery

We created, built and ran 5 workshops, resulting after 12 months activity with a month long exhibition showing the interactive activity and public engagement. This activity resulted in securing £59,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
