Our background in working with self build projects led to broader application of our skills in consultation. We worked with the local community to help identify ideas for a former carriageworks, and then to facilitate a representative group which allocated regeneration funding to community projects.

We worked with parents, teachers and local residents to help them decide what to do with a part-destroyed school in York following a fire.

We have worked on a number of Safe Routes to Schools projects with Sustrans, helping children and parents to find ways of making it safer to cycle or walk to school.

We worked with children at a Leeds school to help them decide what improvements they would like in their playground, and to develop tools for fundraising.

We worked with residents of a York travellers site to help them design improvements for their site and amenity buildings.

Following on from a lengthy period of work at the school by Heads Together, we were asked to work with Heads' Abi May and children at the school to design a role play space for the playground.

We did lots of work with the children on the nature of play and games outdoors, and worked with them on the process of design and different ways of showing how things look - whether existing things or ideas in your head.

We decided on a soft-surfaced area backed by a semicircle of posts designed to accept interchangeable panels. This enabled a variety of backdrops for all sorts of activities and situations but also gave a vandal-proof installation.

The children are currently working with craftsman Lewis Morgan to help build the role play space.
