What we do
We are Flying Monk Community Projects, a Social Enterprise based in Wiltshire and working across the UK. We run community projects to promote social inclusion, often using media, the arts and outdoor activities. The projects encourage groups that would not normally interact to mix and encourage social inclusion and creativity.
We make films, community radio, promote and encourage accessibility, and run disability awareness training. Here are a few of our recent projects:
We have run disability awareness training and presentations for organisations including the University of Bristol and the NHS since 2014.
In 2017 we ran a pilot of Malmesbury Carnival Community Radio for 10 days in August over the Carnival period.
In 2016 we made a documentary called Heels and Wheels promoting inclusion in ballroom wheelchair dancing, which was selected for the Together 2016 Disability Film Festival and Ability Fest 2017 in India.
"Our audience loved your film Heels and Wheels! The film had a powerful impact on all of us" AbilityFest 2017
In 2015 we were commissioned to make a short film for Wiltshire Council to promote an internship scheme for young people with Special Educational Needs and/or disabilities.
In 2014 we received Heritage Lottery funding to make a film called From Mons to Le Cateau in partnership with a group of local scouts who retraced the steps of Wiltshire soldiers from the British Expeditionary Force in the First World War.
