C&T has an established partnership with the Inclusion Network in Bootle, working together to support inclusive creative practice, digital participation, and community development in the Liverpool City Region. The Inclusion Network is a youth and community led CIC with deep roots in Bootle, and our collaboration is grounded in shared values around co-creation, accessibility, and learning through doing.

Together, we develop projects that young people and other marginalised participants at the centre of the creative process. Our work in Bootle combines applied theatre, digital tools, and participatory methods to support confidence, skills development, and creative agency. Using C&T’s Prospero platform, participants are able to document their ideas, share stories, and contribute to collective outputs in accessible and engaging ways.

The partnership responds directly to local priorities, including digital exclusion, access to cultural opportunities, and pathways into learning and leadership. By working long-term with the Inclusion Network, C&T supports sustainable, place-based practice that strengthens communities and ensures disabled voices are visible, valued, and influential.
