We are anchored by place, but liberated by our energies and imagination... WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO  BUILD? We are striving to build a centre for the region's children, families, carers and visitors that will enable young people to explore their world.  It will be based upon the model of the Curiosity and Imagination Centre.  Our latest events for children Space Days June & July 2008 We are pleased to have had the opportunity to deliver a number of Space Days to a wide variety of schools in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. The ImagineNewmarket team, with the support of the project sponsors have enabled nearly 500 children to enjoy a sequence of days - with a range of imagination stirring activities... to make and launch their own rockets to learn about our solar system to learn about galaxies the history of manned space flight The image resources we developed as a backdrop to our space days are available for download on our archive page. They are in .wmv format and range from 10Mb to 30Mb file sizes. All the images are in the public domain and we are especially grateful to both NASA and the Hubble project. Our archive page is here...

How long have we been going? We have been together as a committee for some four years now.  What have we achieved? This web site is a record of the energy and outputs we have achieved.  We have delivered a number of successful 'design and build' events with children and young people - activity days where young people have generated ideas for our project. In 2008 we plan to hold a series of seven event themed days for schoolchildren in our region. How have we achieved this? Our activities to date have been delivered entirely through the generosity of our volunteers, sponsors and supporters.  This support has ranged from donations of services from local private sector companies public sector organisations, to the time and input given to our project by their employees, partners and officers. Our plans for this year? Apart from the schedule of events mentioned above, we plan two significant activities this year.  To capitalise on our work to date and begin to raise the core funding needed to deliver our building. To achieve charitable status, or the legal constitution that best suits our aims, in order to maximise our energies and capacity to deliver. Our web pages will give you more information on how we work to support children and young people, keep you updated on new activity and let you know how we are doing against our targets. A bit of a mission statement... The aim is to deliver a building that will help young people to discover meaning in people's lives beyond their own natural horizon and which will foster their sense of connection with life and create positive visions for their future. Based on a model developed by John Pearce, which affirmatively enhances the understanding and skills of young people through play and hands-on activities as a primary learning tool. This type of engagement will allow parents and carers to play a full part in this development process. Fun will happen too. Register your details here to receive our regular email newsletter.
