St Peter’s Sudbury is a decommissioned church in the ownership of the Chuches Conservation Trust. A group of local residents have seen the potential to turn the site into a community arts and events venue. Tricolor recently supported The Friends of St Peter’s Sudbury develop and deliver a programme of audience development activities. These activities included youth consultation and assisting with the delivery of a family-friendly battle of the bands.

Tricolor consulted with a variety of different stakeholders, including pupils from the local secondary school, and the Sudbury Air Cadets. Our support was flexible and fluid depending on the response of these stakeholders. The aim of the final project changed considerably due to the nature of young people in Sudbury, but Tricolor’s dynamic approach to problem solving ensured that the final event met the overall aims of the project.
