Voices of Rushmoor

Voices of Rushmoor is an ongoing community heritage project that brings together young people from across the local area to record, preserve, and share the unique lived experiences and stories of people who call Rushmoor home.

Through the project, young people will be trained to capture first-hand accounts from residents of all backgrounds of how Rushmoor has changed over time.

Diwali in Farnborough

Diwali 2024

In partnership with Nutkhut and artist Caroline Rackham, 150 changemakers from Talavera Infant and Junior schools helped to plan, prepare for, and participate in Rushmoor’s first ever Diwali Parade. 

They made lanterns to display during the procession and spoke about the importance of creative learning and storytelling, as well as incorporating youth voice into creative practices.

Diwali 2025

Together young people from Talavera Infant and Junior Schools and the wider community made lanterns, explored the meaning of Diwali in the community, and took part in a fantastic parade filled with music, dancing, and creativity.

Check out the vibrant film below to hear more about the project.

Working with schools, youth groups, and families across Rushmoor has shown me the wealth of creativity in the local area. Rushmoor is a place full of passionate educators, creative young people, and tight-knit local communities. It is a privilege to see creative projects allow our young people to connect across cultures, age groups, and a huge variety of lived experiences.
