SOCIAL IMPACT

Our main focus is to consider the social impact of the project. Chorlton Park is one of the main focal points for the town's social activities, therefore, to understand how people use the park as well as how people will react, connect and collaborate together within and around the spaces was a key part to understanding the value of their community and how our project will play a part.

The idea of 'connecting two halves' is about connecting the different demographics in Chorlton relating to the more affluent community and the poorer community.

CHORLTON LIBRARY VISIT

The main focus of the Chorlton library visit is to interact with the community, ask questions and receive feedback for our work so far. As community engagement is a critical part of our project, we aim to connect through social media as well as face to face with Chorlton Community.

The importance of this visit will be raising awareness and creating the potential for crowdfunding, we will be involving the community in the process as much as possible.

Engaging with the community through social media allows constant communication, trust-building and the ability to maximize engagement.
