Slough Celebrates Neurodiversity

This design aligns with a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about the challenges of neurodiversity in society. The umbrellas symbolise protection, understanding, and acceptance for individuals with neurodiverse conditions. By incorporating this meaningful imagery, the artwork contributes to a more inclusive and empathetic community atmosphere.

Slough is the place...

This design represents the community’s strength and unity, emphasising individuals’ collaborative efforts in creating a thriving and inclusive environment in Slough. The imagery of hands symbolises the power of collective action and highlights the importance of community engagement and support. The shop was transformed into a community wall that showcases quotes from various community groups in Slough. These quotes highlight why individuals believe Slough is an exceptional place to live. By amplifying the voices of community members, this artwork fosters a sense of belonging, pride, and unity among residents. It serves as a vibrant representation of the rich tapestry of cultures and perspectives that define Slough.

Do you know Slough? and Slough Past & Future

The artwork for the former M&S shop features shapes of birds on trees and branches. These avian symbols will add a touch of natural beauty and remind us of the diverse population in Slough. In addition, the artwork includes intriguing facts about the history, current developments, and future aspirations of Slough. This combination aims to foster a connection between the community and its environment while promoting an appreciation for Slough’s heritage and progression.
