An orange rectangle bordered by a dark blue line and a yellow triangle. Blue writing reads ‘AHRC Creative Communities Funding new CIPs 2025-2026’. An image of a map of the UK sits across all three shapes. The four nations of the UK are different colours and location pins point to specific cities taking part in the project. The logos of partners run along the bottom of the graphic in a white box. Eilish photographed in front of a brick wall, wearing a black and white abstract patterned shirt. Her photograph is in the centre of a blue, orange and yellow graphic, highlighted by a white outline. Below her photograph blue text in a white box reads ‘Community Innovation Practitioner Eilish Victoria’, followed by the logos for Creative Communities, Northumbria University, and AHRC.

Working "with and alongside" UK communities builds deep understanding of deprivation, disadvantage, and vulnerabilities, says our CEO @helengou.bsky.social in the @ahrcpress #CreativeCommunities podcast. Thanks to Lauren Baker Mitchell and Prof Katy Shaw for including us. Listen here: bit.ly/47BoEhK
“Stats can tell you how bad things are, but it’s not until you engage in a story [...] that you have a deep, empathic, rooted understanding of what’s going on for people […] If we don’t have empathy, we will only ever apply a fairly technocratic, notional idea of how to tackle inequalities.”
