Cartwheel’s projects
welcome to ‘The Matrix’!

Cartwheel produces a diverse variety of work, using many different media and artforms. We currently group our projects and arts development work into four strands, often interconnected, which we call The Matrix. Long raincoats and dark glasses are not required. Any work undertaken by the company will fit into one - or more - of these programmes.


The largest strand is Stronger Communities , which covers a range of projects building links within and between communities.  Our two largest projects currently, Darnhill Festival and Tell Us Another One, both sit in this section, but have tentacles spreading into other sections. Youth and Diversity brings together our work with young people and with BME, especially South Asian, communities in the region. You Live & Learn reflects our emphasis on learning through doing, rather than providing basic training projects. All Well & Good is a programme which aims to promote wellbeing, raise aspirations and self-esteem and enable people to have more control over their lives and to live independently.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for please get in touch.
