Loca's projects use arts activities and creative approaches to help bring about change in local communities. Our work is funded by Kirklees Council (Culture & Leisure Services), project grants, and contracts from a range of public agencies and services.   We run a varied programme of projects in local neighbourhoods with adults and young people. Projects are designed to:      raise aspirations and confidence, and introduce new skills        get people involved in having a say and influencing change        help kick-start new ideas and initiatives        offer new, accessible ways of consulting with and engaging local people
