Rainbows, Lasers and so much more - symbols of hope and community solidarity!

Be insired and gain strength from the creativity shared across the city and generated by community as symbols of hope, messages of support or offered as thanks to our frontline heroes.


There is so much to be shared that can give us all amazing strength in looking forward to better times ahead.  It may be our young people with their creativity, the work of our amazing care workers or the support that is there every day for the NHS.  Whether on an exercise walk or in the comfort of their own home, people have come together to share their thoughts and experiences and do their bit to help and inspire others.  

Community is how we get through this and it is community that gives us all the strength we need.

Here we celebrate all that is great about our community and we recognise the amazing work done by people inspired to share their creativity and their strength.

Take a look at our feature, connect with us and let us promote and share your work and your campaigns.
