Launching in May 2025, the interactive toolkit will put transformative research and place-making tools into the hands of communities and cross-sector audiences up and down the UK. The tender activity is anticipated to begin in October or November 2024 and last for up to 7 months, but shorter suggested timelines will be considered if delivery plans can be appropriately evidenced. Toolkit Aims: Collaborative partners need help to navigate co-working, find each other, form new relationships, and find ways to come together to tackle shared challenges through creative interventions. Developing a Creative Communities toolkit – an Open Access resource for collaborative partners with diverse users’ needs in mind – will address the gap that currently exists in providing best practice and empowering communities. The AHRC Creative Communities toolkit will sit alongside the other year 3 Creative Communities sharing activities – all-nations and all-regions policy sprints, public-facing events, phase three policy recommendations and Community Innovation Practitioner podcasts and case studies.
