Future Roots Wisbech

MarketPlace Arts are supporting young people with skills and opportunities to grow their ideas into reality. Future Roots is a youth-led social action project for young people aged 16-25 to make a difference to where they live in Wisbech.

The project is currently in the research and development stage where our fantastic young volunteers are deciding on what kind of project to do. We talked about the issues and challenges these young people are facing and ways we could make a small change in Wisbech to impact the community positively. There was a general consensus of making an improvement that would benefit the young people in the area. They also decided to open out the decision making process to a wider audience so if you’re aged between 12 and 25 and want to contribute your ideas let us know which project you’d like to see happen!

Options proposed are: 

• Environmental improvements – creating a community garden and/or big piece of public art – this could include graffiti workshops so the participants can contribute to the final piece.
• Creating a covered structure on Lime Avenue for the community to gather in together – with possible creative activities taking place

Fill out the form below to submit your vote and we’ll be in touch with how you can join in or see the completed project later this summer.
