Ideas Test – Working with communities in Swale & Medway to live more creative lives

Start Up Slam has been just as good as the first. I’ve made new friends and got to hang out with old ones. I loved all the workshops and it has been a really relaxing environment. Thank you so much!”

“Ideas Test have a history of working with excellent artists who make challenging and interesting work...the whole process, from inception to installation was absolutely effortless – which is entirely down to how comfortable and natural it was working with Wendy, and the Ideas Test team.”

- Matt Bray, artist, Material Conversations (collaboration with artist Wendy Daws), 2018

“I have been privileged to take part in many of the activities and they [Ideas Test] have opened up and developed an interest in so many things which would not have been open to me without the provision of such an extensive programme. I have... met so many more people who have become friends...the incidents of loneliness and isolation have been reduced and I have only encountered praise and thanks for the programme.” – John

“...I think Ideas Test is a real asset to our community...The friendly, welcoming staff make it easy to join in and it’s a safe space to chat and meet new people. The well-organised events are a great way of widening my experience...”
