Creativity That
Builds Connection

Imagenation54 exists to create spaces where creativity brings people together.

Through animation, character design, storytelling and collaborative projects, we help young people and communities discover confidence, purpose and connection through the creative process.

We believe creativity is more than entertainment. It can restore confidence, strengthen relationships and give people a sense of belonging and possibility.

From workshops and mentorship to community produced short films, our projects are designed to help people grow creatively while contributing to something meaningful together.

What We DO

Community Workshops

Creative sessions in animation, drawing and storytelling that help participants build skills, confidence and relationships.

Collaborative Short Films

Community driven animation projects where participants work together to bring stories to life while learning real creative production processes..

Creative Development

Mentorship, portfolio support and hands on opportunities for emerging creatives interested in animation and visual storytelling.

Community Partnerships

Collaborations with schools, organisations, venues and community groups to deliver creative experiences that make a lasting impact.

Current Project:
Lenny the Lightbulb

Lenny the Lightbulb is our flagship community animation project.

Set in a city consumed by darkness, the story follows characters working together to bring light back to their world.

The project combines storytelling, animation and community participation to explore themes of hope, identity, purpose and collective transformation.

Participants contribute to character design, worldbuilding, story development, animation and production while learning creative and collaborative skills throughout the process.

Why This Matters

Our workshops and projects are designed to create genuine community impact through creativity.

We have already seen:

Young people building confidence through creative expression

Parents & children connecting through shared creative activities

New friendships & collaborations forming through workshops

Emerging artists discovering pathways into animation & design

Communities gathering around positive creative experiences

As Imagenation54 grows, we aim to create larger opportunities for participation, mentorship and collaborative storytelling across Peterborough and beyond.

My grandsons who are 8 and 10 said it was ‘amazing!’. It helped us all with confidence and the enjoyment of creativity. Lots and lots of positives. Felt energised and happy and especially to see my grandsons enjoying it so much.

I love having a space to create. Especially along side my family who also enjoy art.
