Creative Collaboration


"Little Big Bang" held a series of workshops in mid September to enable residents of Little Woodhouse to participate in the Fortune Cookie creative/creation process. The sessions at Burley Lodge Centre, the Clarendon Road footbridge, St George's Crypt and at Burley Willows elicited a phenomenal response from the participants. Words of wisdom, phrases of profundity and idiomatic illustrations, provided "Little Big Bang" with a wealth of material to use in the Light Night Fortune Cookies.

Burley Lodge Centre, 18th September 2010


"Little Big Bang" was happy to meet and collaborate with people using Burley Lodge Centre.
More sensational scribes helped LBB to create texts to make the fortune cookies something extra special. Many thanks to you all!!

"Burley Lodge Centre (BLC) is a ‘Community Anchor’ organisation that exists to improve the quality of life for people in the North West area of Leeds. BLC initiates, develops and delivers a wide range of dynamic and responsive services that make a real difference to people in the local area. Over the past 27 years, BLC has developed as an infrastructure organisation supporting small groups to help them build capacity, participate in networks and develop their own policies and procedures."











St George's Crypt



"Little Big Bang" sought assistance from new friends at St George's Crypt.

"St George’s Crypt is a Christian Charity based underneath the thriving church of St George’s, Leeds. It has been providing care and support for homeless, vulnerable and disadvantaged people since 1930. Don Robins first opened the doors of the Crypt to alleviate the considerable distress of many who found themselves with next to nothing as a result of the Great Depression."

"Little Big Bang" Creative Workshop at Ripon House, 14th September 2010





Swarthmore Bridge


Swarthmore Bridge is strategic border-point of Little Woodhouse. Cross it from the LGI and you'll find the Swarthmore Adult Education College, a centre for lifelong learning established in the early years of the 20th century by members of the Quaker movement. Not just a well-used community space, the centre offers dozens of courses especially aimed at those who might not necessarily feel suited to 'formal' learning centres.

Burley Willows, 19th September 2010



Off in search of wise words for the Light Night fortune cookies, how could "Little Big Bang"ignore the life experience of a particular group of residents in LS4. We were given a warm welcome at Burley Willows and maybe your Light Night Leeds exclusive cookie will contain a sagacious script from one of the residents?
