RESIDENTS in North Prospect have unveiled a meaningful piece of art to showcase their close-knit community spirit, collaboration and dedication to supporting people in their local area.
The Marvellous Mosaic Project began at the start of 2024, with 12 sessions held across the last two months to allow Plymouth Community Homes (PCH) tenants to share their ideas and build a mosaic which represents their values as a community.
The sessions were held at The Beacon, the community hub in North Prospect, during its hobbies and coffees and tea and toast weekly events, as well as at the Compassionate Café at the Wolseley Trust.
The project was funded by PCH, MAKE Southwest, Plymouth City Council and Cllr Tina Tuohy's Councillor Grant. It was supported by the Wolseley Trust, which allocated its community space and the time of a staff member throughout the project.
Local artist Michelle McQuinn also supported the project with the creation of the mosaic, and residents were grateful for her support and expertise.
