We would love to connect with different community-led organisations for our 2025 engagement opportunities.
Lightpool is looking to commission two organisations, or a consortium of organisations, to plan and deliver engagement in Blackpool, between July and October 2025
We value the opportunity to work with a range of local organisations, expert in working with particular communities. We welcome a collaborative approach to delivering the requirements summarised in the briefs. We are looking to commission multiple community-led organisations to deliver all or parts of the engagement.
Ideally, we would like to procure engagement from multiple community-led organisations that are embedded in and working with local communities, who are able to act as a trusted voice and to encourage participation. We are supportive of small organisations collaborating with one another to deliver what is set out in their proposals.
We are seeking project proposals from organisations to deliver a new project engaging with our local community.
Targeting groups who do not usually engage with the Lightpool Festival, and break down barriers, to increase cultural participation and create long term relationships.
Your creative project should include one of the key Lightpool strands – art, light, music, performance.
