Community Spotlight Case

About the Spotlight Case

The spotlight case is a community exhibition case at Charnwood Museum. It’s free for locals, groups, and non-profits to share their stories and connection to Charnwood with others. The project is led by volunteer Community Connectors who are representative of the diversity of communities living in Charnwood. They shape, guide, advise, challenge, inspire, promote, and support this work in partnership with Culture Leicestershire.

Charnwood Community Connectors

Our panel of volunteers has helped develop a process that ensures that this opportunity is accessible to everyone. Through consultation, they have helped to create everything from logos and branding to application forms! They have also commissioned this promotional video which demonstrates how anyone in the community can get involved and use the case:

Do you have a community project to share at Charnwood Museum?

The Spotlight Case is available for local community groups and individuals to display objects and information that matter to them and that they would like to share with the wider community. If you have an idea about local activity or history that you would like to share, then you can either get in touch to discuss your ideas, or fill in an application form and we will get back to you. There is more information on our Support to Apply page.
