Tyne Derwent Way in a Box is a multi-generational project. Working with young neurodiverse creatives, older crafters and people who live in care homes.

We were asked by the National Trust and the Tyne & Wear Building Preservation Trust to take the role of the creative producer for this project in 2024.

This project aimed to introduce new audiences to the 9-mile route of the Tyne Derwent Way, create a range of sensory tools through a variety of workshops and combine these tools to make sensory boxes that could be enjoyed by people living in residential care homes.

Our role was to deliver the following:

  • Design a programme of engagement

  • Project manage Tyne Derwent Way in a Box

  • Liaise with all partner organisations

  • Ensure safeguarding throughout the project

  • Liaise with parents and young people

To find out more about the content of the project you can take a look on the official Tyne Derwent Way website here.
