Seen Agency

At the University of Winchester, we believe in the transformative power of culture and creativity. As a local anchor institution, we are dedicated to building a thriving and dynamic community where art, celebration of our heritage, and innovation flourish. Collaboration is the key to creating meaningful societal, civic, and community-based benefits. By embedding ourselves with our local community and businesses, we aim to facilitate opportunities for mutual growth and innovation. By supporting local organisations and businesses, attracting talented individuals, and enriching the lives of our students, staff and residents, we are confident that we can help make our region flourish.

Move Momentum is an award-winning local charity based in Winchester, Hampshire that aims to make dance accessible to everyone. We provide inclusive and affordable dance classes for people who otherwise might not have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of dance. We focus on providing weekly classes tailored for older adults, people with disabilities (including dedicated classes for wheelchair users), people with long-term health conditions, and young people facing barriers to accessing dance. We also offer online dance education and work across Hampshire to provide inclusive dance classes to SEN schools, care homes and other charities and community groups.

A new National Lottery Heritage Fund project, that will explore, research, and co-create a more contemporary and representative narrative of Portsmouth’s (and surrounding areas) LGBTQ+ heritage. Led by Y Services, in partnership with Portsmouth City Archives and Hampshire Cultural Trust, the project will: • Train young people and volunteers in heritage research skills • Record oral histories • Document the history and growth of Portsmouth Pride • Deliver exhibitions, events, and community learning We believe this project offers an exciting opportunity for local organisations, community centres, groups, and local residents to get involved.
