Daddy Cars adds practical transport support around Common Ground

Daddy Cars has confirmed project-managed local transport support that can be used where a journey would otherwise become a genuine barrier to participation.

Daddy Cars has confirmed practical transport support for Common Ground to use around genuine participant access needs. The support is managed through the project rather than handed out as cash.

In a rural district, transport can be the difference between being interested and actually being able to attend. This contribution gives Common Ground another way to respond when a local journey is the barrier.

Useful support, used carefully

The support is not an entitlement attached to every place. It is one practical option that can be matched to real need alongside the wider travel support already built into the funded programme.

Thank you to Daddy Cars for giving the project a concrete way to remove friction without changing who is selected or what participants choose to make.

Common Ground

Sixteen Fenland adults. Real stories. New doors opening.

The funded programme supports adults living in Fenland District to make original work through writing, audio, photography, film and digital storytelling.

Current funded programme

Public funding supports the 2026–27 participant programme.

The current 16-person Digital Storytelling Lab is supported through Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grants. Common Ground is the wider place-based storytelling platform around that funded spine.

Lottery Funded. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
