PEOPLE WE WORK WITH
fairandfunky
CIC
fairandfunky is a community interest company with the mission statement: empowering people to take little steps to change the world. They chose to be a community interest company as we are more that just an ordinary business. Their profits are reinvested into the company so we can deliver workshops for free to community groups, develop a fairandfunky festival and eventually train and employ local people.
"We believe that as individuals we have the power to make a positive difference in the world; through the way we act, what we wear, where we shop and what we do. fairandfunky enables people to make those positive choices and empowers people to take their own little steps to change the world."
Pockets works with fairandfunky to develop workshops and programmes for children and young people, combining theatre and drama with the creativity and mission statement of fairandfunky. We have also delivered workshops for their schools conferences.
