Arts centres change lives โ€“ and now thereโ€™s clear evidence of how.

Weโ€™ve launched a new Model of Change that shows how creativity and culture help people feel welcome, build confidence, connect with others, and find new direction over time.

From first visits to lifelong involvement, arts centres create the conditions where change becomes possible โ€“ for individuals, communities and places.

Weโ€™d love to hear your stories. How has your local arts centre made a difference to you, your friends or your family?

๐ŸŽ‰For the last year, Scala has partnered with seven city partners to develop the cultural life of Worcester. And what a year itโ€™s been!

Through the combined efforts of Severn Arts, Scala, Worcester Mela, University Of Worcester, Heart of Worcestershire College, Worcester Community Trust, Worcester City Council and Worcestershire County Council, Worcester has enjoyed three new festivals: Bridges of Light by Severn Arts, Scala Festival of Play and Worcester Melaโ€™s Threads of Unity.

Over 2800 local people were involved in co-creating the festivals. 90+ installations, performances and activities took place, providing work for 142 creatives. Our research tells us that this work has increased feelings of togetherness, confidence and joy in the people involved.

Over 90% of you want to attend another festival or event.

In addition, over 140 students from the University of Worcester and Heart of Worcestershire College have benefitted from a skills development programme, with access to professionals and learning opportunities right here in the city.

Hereโ€™s what Worcester residents told us:

โ€œSo proud of Worcester for hosting thisโ€

โ€œIt was truly inspiring to see Worcester so full of life โ€“ alive with laughter, smiles and the joyful footsteps of little ones exploring alongside their adults.โ€

โ€œA wonderful child-friendly event with a great atmosphereโ€

โ€œUniting the communityโ€

Thereโ€™s still more to come, as Bridges of Light by Severn Arts, Scala Festival of Play and Worcester Melaโ€™s Threads of Unity will return - and there are plans to provide further opportunities for students during the next academic year.
