This is my submitted and final edit of my video for my Final Major Project with Leeds City College as a graduating student of the Access to Higher Education Art & Design (24-25) course. Belle Isle, South Leeds, often faces negative perceptions, but within its resilient community, an artistic spark ignited a remarkable transformation. This film documents a journey from mental health decline to artistic discovery, all thanks to the support found in an unexpected place, leading down a new and hopeful path. My research and development website to accompany this video can be viewed here : https://sites.google.com/view/alanreynoldsfmp South Leeds - Alan Reynolds Final Major Project Final Edit

Life-changing! ✨ What started as a simple GP suggestion blossomed into a new career path and university opportunities for many community members.
The Creative Communities project in South Leeds is a shining example of collaboration & transformation. @leedsmuseums.bsky.social @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk
