Welcome to Creating Community Space
Welcome to “Creating Community Space,” where every corner of our community in and around Canterbury, Kent, sparkles with life and inclusive energy. We’re not just an organisation; we’re a movement, a gathering of hearts and hands dedicated to nurturing the soul of our community through shared spaces and shared experiences.
Founded on the belief that community spaces are the breeding grounds for unity, creativity, and support, we embark on a mission to maximise the use of these spaces. At our core, we are driven by a vision where every member of our community feels welcomed, valued, and inspired.
Our mission
At Creating Community Spaces, our mission is to enrich the Canterbury community by maximising the use of communal spaces. We aim to foster inclusiveness and celebrate diversity through a variety of free events and shows. By providing a platform for local traders, makers, and artisans, we seek to strengthen community bonds and support local talents, ensuring that every member feels valued, connected, and part of our vibrant community tapestry.
Our journey
In a world brimming with challenges and fast-paced changes, we saw a beacon of hope in our local areas. The parks, halls, and open spaces in Canterbury and its surroundings whispered stories of potential – potential to be the stages for vibrant events, the grounds for cultural festivals, and the arenas where local talents shine.
So, we rolled up our sleeves and set out to transform these whispers into roars of community spirit. “Creating Community Spaces” was born, a community interest company with a heart for bringing people together and an eye for the unexplored potential of our localities
What we do
Our objective? Simple yet profound. We strive to maximise the use of community space, crafting a diverse array of events and shows that everyone can enjoy free of charge. These events aren’t just about entertainment; they’re lifelines of support, joy, and connection during challenging times.
But that’s not all. We understand that the pulse of Canterbury lies in its local traders, makers, and artisans. Our events serve as a platform for these incredible talents to showcase their crafts and wares. From handmade pottery that tells the story of our rich heritage to the culinary delights that tantalise your taste buds, our community’s creativity knows no bounds.
Inclusiveness at Our Core
Inclusiveness isn’t just a word for us; it’s our mantra. We’re committed to creating spaces that reflect the beautiful tapestry of our diverse community. Everyone, irrespective of their background, age, or beliefs, is not only welcomed but celebrated. Our events are mirrors reflecting the varied and vibrant faces of Canterbury.
