‘Every One Every Day’, invites people to actively design, co-create and test a vision for their communities. It began in Barking and Dagenham and led on to We Build Bridges.

Since 2019, Corra has been developing the approach for Scottish places with our partners.

Kirkcaldy is the first place in Scotland to implement the approach.

The idea is to build the social infrastructure – the spaces, resources and support – in a local area to enable people to try whatever they’re passionate about, in ways that make sense to their lives. It’s free, open to everyone, and designed to make it easy to get involved. It’s all about building the foundations for people to live better lives, together.
