In collaboration with guest editors Patch we’re delving into the diverse and dynamic aspects of what it means to belong—whether through friendship, community, place, entrepreneurship, the environment, or collective action. We’re exploring how we can collectively boost a sense of guardianship and belonging, and encourage everyone to get involved in shaping Dorset's future.

As a Dorset-wide competition, we are looking for your personal response to the theme of BELONGING and want you to be as creative as possible.

The top entries will be showcased at our launch party at Patch’s new neighbourhood space at Bobby’s Bournemouth in October. The winner will receive a 6-month Associate 4 Membership (valued at over £500) and a £200 cash prize.
