What a day we had with Flip the Streets at Mumbles Skatepark with Mumbles Community Council 😍

These designs were created and painted by skatepark users and the local community! Bringing a little more fun and character to an already much loved, community asset 🛼 Were you involved in this project? Tell us about it below 😁👇

Another great project with flip the streets ❤👊🏼

Mumbles Skatepark has had a colourful makeover designed by the very community that uses it 🎨

🛹 Around 40 skatepark users, their friends and family, local PCSOs and volunteers from Mumbles Community Council have come together to create two brand new murals at Mumbles Skatepark, as part of a project promoting inclusion and belonging.

🎨 The project was run by Flip the Streets - a community initiative founded by Swansea University's Professor Lella Nouri, which works with young people to create collaborative artworks representing their beliefs and values in the places they use. It's previously transformed spaces in Clase, Gorseinon, Manselton and the city centre, replacing hateful graffiti with positive, colourful art.

🌊 At two workshops, skatepark users were asked what it meant to them to belong to the Mumbles skate community - and their ideas were turned into two murals by Fresh Creative CIC, one featuring a submarine inspired by sea-themed suggestions, and the other depicting a Mumbles spray can suggested by one of the users.

💬 Professor Lella Nouri said: "The energy on the mural day was fantastic, with skaters, families, volunteers and PCSOs all contributing to something positive, colourful and lasting. These murals reflect the creativity, pride and sense of belonging that already exists in the skatepark community."

🖼️ The team is now looking forward to hosting a special art exhibition celebrating previous Flip the Streets projects, to be held at the Volcano Theatre on High Street, Swansea, between 17th and 24th July.

An impactful piece for in Blidworth ⛏

VIY work with young people, helping them to develop trade skills, whilst renovating community spaces. The hall in Blidworth was built by miners and is still used at a community centre. So to honour the miners and the local area Phil went up to create this mural.

As well as painting the mural, we got the young people involved and they were given time to learn the basics of spray painting! A great team effort all round!

A big thank you to for having us back at their amazing space in Port Talbot. A new, modern refresh for this bedroom ⚡😍
