We know it has become harder to talk about the things that matter to us – both here and elsewhere. Far too many of us are finding it hard to have open conversations for fear of disagreement, this is driving us apart, pushing people further into echo-chambers.
Whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever you do, we want you to join us in this journey of reconciliation where tough conversations and respectful disagreement lead us to impactful actions that we believe are the tools to feeling less siloed and more confident about our place in this town.
Our collective leadership style will hold empathy, love, and kindness at its heart in creating new pathways for our time and place. So, whatever local issue you are interested in, come, and join us activating Burnley’s collective power through things like guerrilla gardening, community conversations or storytelling – places and spaces for everyone.
We are passionate about creating a collective that is made up of people from across Burnley - a place of inclusivity and respect. We aim to help design projects and programmes that are led by local people because local people know their communities best.
As we grow this work, we would love to hear from you. If you’re interested in being involved or want to know more, email us: hello@brilliantburnley.org.uk
