Climate UK brand guidelines 4
Introducing the logo
The Climate UK logo is deceptively simple and approachable; it holds many meanings within it.
The overall shape is based on vintage industrial temperature gauges, while the ‘dial’ is made up of twelve major notches on the scale, representing the partners of Climate UK. The colourway of the logo is influenced by those of a thermal imaging camera – used to take readings of heat loss in buildings.
The open, rounded shape is suggestive of a central hub, while there are also visual suggestions of a countdown clock, and a cityscape skyline.
It is a robust logo – without being aggressive – reflecting Climate UK’s role in building resilience to climate change, as well as having the ability to cope with being placed on a wide variety of materials in different situations.
Because the logo is such a recognisable and highly visible brand asset, it is vital that it is always applied consistently wherever it appears.
Logo variations available
The logotype and motif must never be separated.
30mm
Climate UK brand guidelines 5
Logo usage
Clear space
A clear space equal to the x-height of the text within the logo needs to be kept on all sides.
Minimum sizes
The Climate UK logo has been designed to be robust and clear at even small sizes, however, please adhere to the minimum sizes stated:
No smaller than 30mm wide.
Web
No smaller than 120px wide.
Mono version
The mono version of the Climate UK logo should be used when colour reproduction is not available, or if the logo is to be used amongst many others in a ‘logo soup’ where all the others are mono.
Use over imagery
The logo may be used over imagery with care. Ensure that there is sufficient contrast between the image and the logo so that it is clearly visible. The section of image behind the logo should be fairly plain and not too busy.
Do not...
Change the typeface of the logo
Change the scale and/or position of the logo elements
Change the colourways of the logo
Skew, compress or distort the logo’s proportions
Place the logo over a busy background
Place the logo on a poorly contrasting background so that the logo elements are not clearly visible
Project: Branding and websiteClient: Climate UK
I am a tailor by trade. I fixed clothes like my brother back in Guinea-Conakry. Ladies’ dresses are my speciality but I cannot work here so I don’t get to do it at the moment. Here I help in the kitchen three days a week with the preparation of food as part of the Home & Away project. I also show people round when they arrive here for the first time.
If I am given permission to stay I would like to work in a shop. I have had no support for over a year and I don’t know what I would have done without Asylum Link. No money. No house. No food. I take home food now and cook for myself. If this place closed many people would suffer.
People are very stressed and upset when they come here. Nobody is perfect but we try to help them. Better to be here than doing nothing at home. Loneliness is not good for your spirit.
My friend brought me to Asylum Link three years ago. I was homeless at the time. I now have job here as a volunteer. I help cook for at least seventy people most days. I like to help out and as a result I have made a lot of friends here.
Asylum Link has been great for my confidence. Many people come here. They give food, tea, coffee. We cook Asian food for people. I hope to get a job one day and go to university. My English has become so much better because of this place.
If I am granted permission to stay in this country I would come back and help others at Asylum Link because it is a lifeline for people in need like myself.
My life has been terrible in the past but Asylum Link has helped get me through. I love it here. It has become my home.
FAIZA ALI AMADOU BAH
I come from Zimbabwe where I was a civil engineer in highway construction and maintenance. Getting involved at Asylum Link helped get through many of my problems. The place has become a sanctuary to me and many others – a safe space where people can come together over food and forget our differences.
People from all places come here. I have recently met a jet airplane engineer from Ethiopia and a teacher from Eritrea. We meet and we start from the bottom to help ourselves up to a better life. I would like to go back into engineering one day. I trained with British books in my country so I have an advantage.
People donate clothes and bicycles to Asylum Link via roadshows that they organise. Local police also bring us unclaimed bikes and I mend them or use the parts for spares. The bikes are sold to raise money for the project but we also give them to asylum seekers for free if they need transport to help them out. I love to help here because Asylum Link is my home.
MARA NYIRENDA
Asylum Link has helped to give me back my confidence. Before I came here I couldn’t even go into a shop to buy food for my daughter.
When I’m on my own I tend to think too much about what’s happened in my life, which is why Asylum Link is a great place to come to. They have helped me learn how to enjoy my life again and encouraged me to study to improve my English. I volunteer here and help make meals in the kitchen for between 70 and 100 people as part of the Home & Away project.
Different people have different problems. You listen and you share people’s sadness. I feel it a lot.
If I am granted asylum I would love to get a job. It would be great for me and help offer a better future for my daughter. She loves school so much and I am very proud of her. She has become an expert at computers in just six months. It makes me cry with happiness for her because my daughter is my life. At last I am happy.

I was a farmer back in Sudan tending cows and sheep. I came to Asylum Link in 2006 when my case to stay in the UK was refused. I came here because I had no money, no family, and nowhere to live.
Asylum Link has helped in so many ways including giving me English classes. When I first came I was scared. I was alone. I came here to meet people. Some even speak my language.
I have made some very good friends here. I work in the kitchen, help give people clothes. I’ve not cooked Sudanese food yet but I hope to one day. Lamb and okra with spicy chili is my favourite. I have had status in the UK since 2010 but still come here two days week to help. I go to college to learn English. One day I would like to be a painter and decorator.
This place is important. It is the best place. They helped me when I struggled. This place is like my house. There is no place like it. I will always help here because wherever I live, wherever I work, I think it is important to help others.

Imagine if you were to walk out of your
work place this evening with nowhere to go,
no sense of purpose, and no possessions to
your name other than the clothes you’re
wearing. What would you do? How would
you get through the night?
That’s the position many of the people who use Asylum Link Merseyside find themselves in every day – stateless, destitute, demoralised, abused, alone.
You have to admire the sheer fortitude of these people to carry on under such circumstances, in an asylum system that marginalises them and actively keeps them from becoming purposeful members of society.
The success of each project undertaken at Asylum Link is defined by the personalities of the people who run it. And this is absolutely the case with our allotment scheme. A tenacious gardener will work wonders and we see this re ected in the way many of our allotment plots have
ourished over the years.We have found that by getting outside and working
with the earth people can – in a small way – overcome the pressure of dealing with a harsh asylum process. It stops them sitting inside, alone, isolated from the world – a situation that often contributes to mental health issues.
However, as with every allotment across the UK, the weather in 2012 has made for a really difficult year. Nevertheless, that hasn’t stopped us growing much needed fruit and vegetables that find their way into the healthy meals we provide for the very people who need our help.
Our Porridge 4 Breakfast project was borne out of necessity. We needed to find a way of replacing bread at breakfast time because it was becoming so expensive. Porridge is a good staple, one of the best. It will take a hungry person through a large part of the day whilst being cheap and nutritious.
It’s a remarkable thing to see people come into Asylum Link after a night out on the street and fill up on porridge. You can see the life ow back into them. But it’s not just a nutritious meal, it’s a chance to share experiences and have contact with others. For many of the people who volunteer to prepare the porridge, it’s a way of reconnecting with a world that they currently play no role in.
Food is not just a way of sustaining people. It’s an opportunity to express social worth, to share with others something of yourself and your culture. The Home & Away project enables asylum seeker and refugee volunteer cooks to connect with indigenous residents using food as a common currency to share cooking skills, recipes, stories and a meal. The volunteer cooks are still enjoying tasty journeys across Merseyside from mums and chicken pie in St Helen’s to baked samosas in Stockbridge Village.
Nobody likes to have to ask for help, however tough things are, which is why our meal times are such an integral part of what Asylum Link has become. It’s the time of the day where people can come together and make a contribution to the world. It’s also the chance to learn about wonderful new recipes and cooking tips that people bring with them from their home countries.
We secure fresh fruit and vegetables every week from local shops so that people can eat healthily. Healthy eating makes such a difference to people’s mental and physical wellbeing, particularly people caught powerless and alone in an unforgiving asylum process.
Working with an extremely limited budget we get fresh food direct to the destitute – those with no money and no home. It’s just a small contribution to the overall work of Asylum Link, but we feel it helps give people the strength to survive and carry on rebuilding their lives.
Asylum Link’s bike shop is a wonder to behold, engaging many of the people who need our help in a practical way. We receive bikes, broken parts and help from organisations such as Liverpool John Moores University and Merseyside Police, to whom we are very grateful.
These odds and ends are then cobbled together to create functioning bicycles by our enthusiastic volunteers. The bike shop helps us in many ways. It makes mechanics out of volunteers, which is a valuable life skill. It provides us with bikes that we can then sell to raise funds for Asylum Link or give to asylum seekers who simply don’t have the money to use public transport. Then there are the obvious health benefits that people get through cycling.
On average we can create one working bike out of every three we receive by donation, which shows the great ingenuity that our volunteers possess even when they’re at their lowest ebb.
GROWING COOKING HOME & AWAY FIXING
Asylum Link Merseyside exists to help bring people back into society step by step, to make them feel valued again. We help them reconnect physically and emotionally with those around them and offer a safe place to be themselves while they fight to remain in the country.
But the line between success and failure is dreadfully thin. We offer advice, support, friendship if needed but often it’s just a hand to hold and a warm meal that helps get people through the most difficult times of their lives.
Faiths4Change, in partnership with Asylum Link Merseyside, have provided a link into local communities. developing new relationships and forming new friendships. Sharing time and experience has improved the living environment for newcomers and existing populations alike.
We have very little money and raising the funds to continue our work is a constant struggle. Organisations such as Groundwork and Faiths4Change help us to create life-changing projects such as the National Lottery funded Target Wellbeing project. But we need more support.
We don’t always succeed in our work but we always do our best – offering people a safe place where they can stop merely surviving and start to live again.

06. Creating a branded environment — Making the experience memorable, continued06. Creating a branded environment — Making the experience memorableThe Brockholes experience should be memorable for all age groups. Think about different users and how they will react with the space – children and wheelchair users have a different perspective to adults and the more able bodied; for example, their sightline is at a lower level. Likewise, less active visitors may spend more time sitting or resting – consider how they will interact with the brand in seating areas.
A different perspective
Children sit and lie on the floor, lean against walls, roll over and crawl under chairs! They will see the brand from a different point of view from the rest of us, so think about what they will remember -– perhaps a message on the floor or a picture at a low level?

The mild spring brought a flurry of colour to Brockholes this week-end, as the apple trees in and around the visitor centre burst into bloom. There’s still time to visit during apple season, and our team were there to photograph them in their glory.

Green Growth
All about agriculture…Here at Asda, we want to provide the best quality products for our customers, today and in the future. We know that our customers see ‘being green’ as part of everyday life and they genuinely want to lead more sustainable lifestyles – they’ve told us time and again, through our ‘Everyday Experts’ panel.
To achieve this mix of sustainability and quality, we’re working with our suppliers and producers to develop a robust, sustainable supply chain. A huge part of this focuses on agriculture – our farmers and growers, both in the UK and around the world.
On the following pages we take a look at the work we’ve been doing – from water and soil quality to sustainable sourcing…

approaches to soil management – arguably a farmer’s most important asset –
to make sure our farming systems are as robust and sustainable as they can be.
Our guide – ‘Simply Sustainable Soil’ –helps our farmers to get the best out
of their soil, create awareness of soil quality and track changes in soil
quality over time.

20,000 customers on the Everyday Experts panel
Our Everyday Experts panel has grown from 7,500 back in 2011, to 20,000 in 2015. That’s 20,000 people telling us what they think, what they like and don’t like, what they talk about, what they want Asda to do or to change. All in all, it’s a panel that creates hugely significant results.
The customers on the panel come from right across the UK, but the majority call England home. In fact, 82% are from England, 10% from Scotland, 5% from Wales and 2% from Northern Ireland.
The overall make up of the panel has changed over the years, but there have
always been more women than men, probably due to the fact that women are still the primary shoppers. On average 62% of the panel is female, and 68% of the panel are the primary shoppers in their family.
Interestingly, 71% of the panel are not parents, leaving 29% of our Everyday Experts shopping for a family. In terms of demographics, over 60% are classed as ABC1, and over 30% are in the C2DE category.
In the pages that follow, we present a visual breakdown of the panel and how it has changed over time…

The Economics of Low Carbon Cities
2449_mainreport_low_carbon_cities3.indd 4 4/1/12 13:47:11
The Wider Context – Other Influences on LCR Carbon Emissions
To put these energy savings and carbon reduction figures into a wider context, we find that:
— With other things constant, background trends in economic growth combined with changes in the energy and carbon intensity of GDP will lead to a 2% increase in LCR carbon emissions between 1990 and 2022.
— Higher energy price increases will impact on demand, and this will lead to a 12% drop in LCR carbon emissions compared to the 1990 baseline by 2022. The total effect of the background trends plus the response to higher energy price will be a 10% drop in LCR emissions between 1990 and 2022.
— The decarbonisation of the national electricity system will lead to a 13% drop in LCR carbon emissions by 2022. The total effect of background trends, the impacts of price increases and the decarbonisation of the national electricity supply system will be a 23% drop in LCR emissions between 1990 and 2022.
— The total effect of all of the above plus the exploitation of all of the cost effective low carbon options will be a 36% drop in LCR carbon emissions between 1990 and 2022.
— The total effect of all of the above plus the exploitation of the remaining cost neutral options will be a 41% drop in LCR emissions between 1990 and 2022.
— The total effect of all of the above plus the exploitation of all of the remaining realistic potential will be a 42% drop in LCR carbon emissions between 1990 and 2022.
The impacts of these price effects, grid decarbonisation and cost effective, cost neutral and realistic potential are shown in the Figure below.

A breakdown of the jobs per year for the cost effective measures is given in Figure 7.
Process improvement accounts for 38% of the total jobs for cost effective measures, followed by drying and separation with 32%, high temperature heating with 11% and heat recovery with 9% of the total. Other measures include burners, space heating, motors and drives and insulation.
A breakdown of the jobs per year for the cost neutral measures is given in the Figure 8.
High temperature heating accounts for 40% of the total jobs for cost neutral measures, followed by heat recovery with 25%, motors and drives with 11%, process improvement with 8% and energy management with 7% of the total. Other measures include fabrication and machining, low temperature heating, compressed air and insulation.
It should be noted that the categories of measures are the same as for the cost effective measures since they have been combined across a wide range of industry sectors, i.e. measures can be cost effective in some sectors and cost neutral in others.
A breakdown of the jobs per year for the renewable heat measures is given in Figure 9 which shows that biomass accounts for 45% of the total jobs, followed by air source heat pumps with 33% and ground source heat pumps with 22%.

How tenants make a real difference
We meet regularly with local community associations to identify the needs of residents.
£90,000The Tenants’ and Residents’ Federation has a budget of £90,000 to cover its work, including the production of its own annual report for all Riverside tenants and residents, training and conferences.
273,000Our Customer Service Centre handled 273,000 calls last year, including 998 calls on Christmas Day – four times more than the same day the previous year!
In this section we talk about how we deliver services that meet the needs of all our tenants and how we make sure we do it fairly. We talk about how we keep you informed and how you can inspect our services and let us know what needs to improve.
Working with you
Our offer to you
We will work with you to improve how we communicate and involve you in our decision making so that your views can really make a difference.
We do this by providing different ways for you to work with us so it is easy, convenient and practical.
We treat our customers fairly and with respect. To make sure we are not accidentally excluding those with different needs, we look at the impact of our work across seven diversity strands: gender, religion, age, disability, ethnicity, sexuality and transgender.
We provide advice and practical assistance, such as aids and adaptations, for tenants who require extra support in their homes.
Local offer
Our ‘LiveTime’ project works with older residents in eight neighbourhoods to deliver the services and support they need within the area. Although the project is in its early stages, we have already spoken to over 100 older people to find out their needs and launched new gardening projects, lunch clubs, exercise groups and money saving workshops.

The water industry collects, treats and supplies more than 16 billion litres of water every day for domestic and commercial customers9 in the UK. The Environment Agency estimates per capita consumption to be around 150 litres per day10. From the Water Energy Calculator, we estimate that the average home consumes 349 litres each day and individuals use an average of 142 litres a day.
When cooking, washing, watering the garden and so on are shared across the household, average water consumption per person falls (Figure 2).
We can also look at responses in finer detail to better understand where water is used in the home. Showers use the most water in the average home, followed by lavatories and cold water from taps – for brushing teeth, cooking, cleaning and drinking (Figure 1).
Just over two-fifths (43%11) of our respondents’ properties had a water meter installed (Figure 3). We estimate that these homes use 3% less water than unmetered households – equating to approximately 72 litres per week, or about 3,700 litres a year.
This difference between metered and unmetered homes, which is calculated from self-reported input on water usage, is lower than a water saving of 10% often used in the water sector as a notional average saving for metered households12. Water use in homes, with or without meters, varies to a great extent. It depends on occupancy and differences in daily water use practices. An element of self-selection may also be at play for those households that use the Water Energy Calculator. It is likely that water meters will help typical British households to be more aware of how much water they use (discussed further in Appendix A). Metering has an important role to play in improving water efficiency, leakage detection and giving customers control of their bills, as part of a wider range of demand management interventions. We now look forward to investigating effective solutions for water efficiency and consumer engagement in Phase 2.

The great outdoors
The real beauty of the Western Lake District lies in the undiscovered places – the rugged fells, the natural allure of the coast and the tranquil lakes brimming over with such beauty that, once discovered, you might want to keep to yourself!
The valleys are truly inspiring. Eskdale, Ennerdale, Borrowdale – the lowland landscapes are peppered with farms, forests, villages and streams. Whether you’re on a gentle short stroll or a more ambitious hike, the Western Lake District makes for the perfect adventure, safe in the knowledge that there’s a warm welcome at one of the pubs, inns or hotels on your return.
And if you’re looking for adrenaline filled escapades, you’ll be spoilt for choice in the Western Lake District. Kite surfing, rock climbing, ghyll scrambling, mountain biking – if getting the adrenaline pumping is your thing, then this is the place for you.
Don’t miss
Wasdale awaits As the deepest lake in England and voted Britain’s Favourite View, Wast Water already has outstanding credentials; but the views across the whole of the Wasdale Valley are breathtaking. Dramatic mountains rise like a huge amphitheatre from the shores of Wast Water, creating the backdrop for your next adventure. You can take to the water in a canoe, kayak or rowing boat. For landlubbers there is climbing, walking, biking, abseiling, horse riding – whatever you choose to do, Wasdale is an amazing location.
Scafell Pike Whether you’re tackling Scafell Pike on its own or as the middle leg of the ‘Three Peaks Challenge’ (sandwiched between Ben Nevis in Scotland and Snowdon in Wales), the sheer achievement of scaling England’s highest mountain is something you will never forget. There are a number of ascents to choose from but no matter which route you take, each affords spectacular views of Wasdale, Eskdale and even across to Wales on a clear day.
Coastal adventures If you’re heading to the coast for the wildlife and birdwatching opportunities, planning a coastal walk or even taking to the sea on a boat trip, the Western Lake District can offer all kinds of shoreline adventures. Our expansive beaches are the perfect place to take the sea air and truly relax. It’s also the place to set off on your Coast to Coast walk or C2C cycling adventures – a challenge of endurance that take in some of the most beautiful scenery in the British Isles. One place that should be on everyone’s itinerary is the Solway Firth – it’s easy to see why it is has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Brilliant Bassenthwaite Technically the only ‘lake’ in the Lake District, Bassenthwaite is suitably impressive. And with no settlements on its shores, Bassenthwaite is the epitome of ‘getting away from it all’. Seek out Blackstock Point and you’ll be rewarded with incredible views. Honestly, we challenge you not to be impressed.

Western Lake District The other side of the Lakes
If you’re looking for natural beauty and rural charm, a place to escape the crowds and find real countryside adventures, visit the Western Lake District. It’s a special place, where Wordsworth lived and Wainwright walked, a place where secluded beaches and unspoilt countryside go hand in hand with a rich Roman and maritime heritage.
If you love the Lake District, the Western Lake District is home to many of the assets that make this area truly special – both Scafell, England’s highest mountain and Wast Water, the deepest lake, are here.
Unique to the Western Lake District is its stunning coastline. It’s perfect for shoreline adventures, taking to the sea and coastal walks. The Coast to Coast Walk, which takes in some of Northern England’s most spectacular scenery, starts right here on our coast. A large stretch of the coast is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – the birds, wildlife and coastal environment make up a distinctive and precious landscape. The Solway Firth is truly beautiful and watching the glorious sunsets over the Irish Sea is something you’ll never forget.
Uncovering the heritage of the Western Lake District will take you on a fascinating journey back in time – ancient castles, Iron Age forts, historic harbours and even tales of smugglers and slaves are an important part of what makes this area what it is. And with so many towns and villages scattered along the coast and across the countryside, you’re sure to find the perfect place to sample the local food and drink, explore the wealth of independent shops or use as a base for a longer stay.

Wasdale awaits As the deepest lake in England andvoted Britain’s Favourite View, Wast Water already has outstanding credentials;but the views across the whole of the Wasdale Valley are breathtaking. Dramatic mountains rise like a huge amphitheatre from the shores of Wast Water, creating the backdrop for your next adventure.You can take to the water in a canoe, kayak or rowing boat. For landlubbers there is climbing, walking, biking, abseiling, horse riding – whatever you choose to do, Wasdale is an amazing location.
Scafell Pike Whether you’re tackling Scafell Pike on its own or as the middle leg of the ‘Three Peaks Challenge’ (sandwiched between Ben Nevis in Scotland and Snowdon in Wales), the sheer achievement of scaling England’s highest mountain is something you will never forget. There are a number of ascents to choose from but no matter which route you take, each affords spectacular views of Wasdale, Eskdale and even across to Wales on a clear day.
Coastal adventures If you’re heading to the coast for the wildlife and birdwatching opportunities, planning a coastal walk or even taking to the sea on a boat trip, the Western Lake District can offer all kinds of shoreline adventures. Our expansive beaches are the perfect place to take the sea air and truly relax. It’s also the place to set off on your Coast to Coast walk or C2C cycling adventures – a challenge of endurance that take in some of the most beautiful scenery in the British Isles. One place that should be on everyone’s itinerary is the Solway Firth – it’s easy to see why it is has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Brilliant Bassenthwaite Technically the only ‘lake’ in theLake District, Bassenthwaite is suitably impressive. And with no settlements on its shores, Bassenthwaite is the epitome of ‘getting away from it all’. Seek out Blackstock Point and you’ll be rewarded with incredible views. Honestly, we challenge you not to be impressed.

Adventure
Western Lake District The other side of the Lakes
If you’re looking for natural beauty and rural charm, a place to escape the crowdsand find real countryside adventures, visit the Western Lake District. It’s a special place, where Wordsworth lived and Wainwright walked, a place where secluded beaches and unspoilt countryside go hand in hand with a rich Roman and maritime heritage.
If you love the Lake District, the Western Lake District is home to many of the assets that make this area truly special – both Scafell, England’s highest mountain and Wast Water, the deepest lake, are here.Unique to the Western Lake District is its stunning coastline. It’s perfect for shoreline adventures, taking to the sea and coastal walks. The Coast to Coast Walk, which takes in some of Northern England’s most spectacular scenery, starts right here on our coast. A large stretch of the coast is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty –the birds, wildlife and coastal environment make up a distinctive and precious landscape. The Solway Firth is truly beautiful and watching the glorious sunsets over the Irish Sea is something you’ll never forget.Uncovering the heritage of the Western Lake District will take you on a fascinating journey back in time – ancient castles, Iron Age forts, historic harbours and even tales of smugglers and slaves are an important part of what makes this area what it is. And with so many towns and villages scattered along the coast and across the countryside, you’re sure to find the perfect place to sample the local food and drink, explore the wealth of independent shops or use as a base for a longer stay.
Tempted? Read on to find out more about the Western Lake District and create your perfect break…

CHAPTER 1: INFLUENCING DESTINATION DECISIONS
To use this guide effectively, you need to be clear about what it is you want to change, or manage, in your destination. If you are clear about your aspirations, then you will be able to take from the guide those ideas and solutions that have value for your destination. Ultimately, only site managers and local communities can decide whether they want to be tourism destinations, and if so, how they want that to work for them.
“ The impacts of World Heritage site status are rarely accidental or unintended – they are overwhelmingly the result of coordinated and well thought through efforts to achieve targeted change”. World Heritage Status: Is there opportunity for economic gain? (2009)

WHY ARTWORKS
North by NorthWest
CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ARTS ARE ART FORMS WHICH ARE PRIMARILY VISUAL IN NATURE, SUCH AS DRAWING, PAINTING, SCULPTURE, PRINTMAKING, DESIGN, CRAFT, PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEO, FILM MAKING AND ARCHITECTURE. THEY ARE ‘CONTEMPORARY’ WHEN THEY REFLECT CONTEMPORARY ART PRACTICES, ARE CUTTING EDGE IN STYLE OR CONTENT, OR ARE CRITICALLY ENGAGED. THIS IS THE VISUAL ART OF NOW.

Where are we talking about exactly? The short answer is not Manchester, and not Liverpool but the counties north of these two cities … Lancashire and Cumbria.
The North by NorthWest member organisations provide the contemporary visual arts offer for a geographical area that is home to almost two million people. This population of Cumbria and Lancashire is dispersed over 3,800 square miles of landscape (2,600 square miles of Cumbria and 1,200 square miles of Lancashire) and is a total audience equivalent to the combined populations of the cities of Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle and Glasgow.
This area includes two of the most popular tourism destinations in the UK – Blackpool and the Lake District – so there is a massive potential audience. Cumbria, Blackpool and Lancashire attract close to 100 million visitors per year, creating over £5 billion of tourism turnover, which in turn supports 87,000 jobs1.
Because of the concentration of population, economic activity and cultural activity in Greater Manchester and Liverpool, there is a tendency to view the more rural communities to the north of these two cities as orbiting around those twin suns, rather than seeing them as proud, geographically distinct, independent and culturally significant places in their own right.

Contemporary visual arts organisations in Cumbria and Lancashire are delivering a wide range of initiatives including re-inventing the way visitors experience historic sites, re-designing school playgrounds, breathing new life into village halls, inspiring people to engage with digital technologies, working on housing renewal projects, making forests and town centres more interesting places to visit … the list goes on.
The different approaches of the North by NorthWest member organisations should be understood in this context; as experiments in providing a contemporary visual arts culture for communities who need it.
The North by NorthWest members represent decades of investment and development work in their communities. They are a key asset through which Cumbria and Lancashire can develop its cultural vibrancy. These organisations are delivering multiple benefits to places, to the local economy and to the communities they serve. The real impact of the North by NorthWest network is that it can bring these multiple benefits and achieve remarkable things with relatively modest investment. This report demonstrates that contemporary visual arts in Lancashire and Cumbria can be a powerful tool to transform places and to provide experiences that bring tangible benefits to people, the environment where they live and the wider economy and quality of life. At their best contemporary visual arts also create an environment that attracts visitors, strengthens the tourism offer and encourages investment.
CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ARTS IN LANCASHIRE AND CUMBRIA CAN BE A POWERFUL TOOL TO TRANSFORM PLACES AND TO PROVIDE EXPERIENCES THAT BRING TANGIBLE BENEFITS TO PEOPLE, THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY LIVE, THE WIDER ECONOMY AND QUALITY OF LIFE.
