Community research is a key part of Made in Millbrook.
The project is working with community researchers to gather stories, experiences and reflections from people connected to Millbrook. This includes people who live in the area now, people who grew up there, and people who have memories or experiences of the community that they would like to share.
The research will help explore questions such as:
What was it like growing up in Millbrook?
How has the area changed over time?
What places, people and memories matter most to the community?
What hopes do people have for Millbrook’s future?
Community researchers will use surveys, conversations and creative methods to collect local voices. The aim is to make sure that the project is shaped by the people who know Millbrook best.
