Hopefully you know who we are, but fronted by Jo & Beki, co-created and owned by many, we have our HQ on the ground floor of the house. Helping to organise and make sure people making good things happen have more of what they need and less of what they don’t.

Steve Radley - Studio Holder
Soulful Vision
My work combines mindfulness and photography through which I am to help people find a greater awareness of their inner world of thoughts and feelings, which shapes our experience of the physical world we inhabit. This work grew out of my firsthand experience of war, literally walking alongside those impacted by violence. I found photography to be healing from my own experiences, and as I learnt to pay attention to everything around me saw the beauty of the world in new ways. When I’m not leading retreats or workshops, you’ll find me studying for a doctorate exploring photographic practices of vision divina (an ancient Christian spiritual practice) to help heal moral injury (which is a recently identified outcome from trauma).

Artist Attic Coop Member:
Ellie Barrett
Ellie Barret is a sculptor, writer, practice-based researcher and artist-mother. Materials, their behaviours and their socio-political roles are the core of her work - she is drawn to non-art materials, having made sculptures from salt dough, tin foil, soap and kitchen paper as a pathway to accessible making.
Artist Attic Coop Member:
Hannah Robinson
Hannah Robinson is an artist and illustrator, who knew that art is what she wanted to do from a very early age. Her work varies from mixed media landscapes to picture book illustration to even live portraits! Hannah's biggest mission in her art career is to inspire as many people as possible to find their creative side!
Artist Attic Coop Member:
Debbie Yare
Debbie’s art emerges from an embodied dialogue with Morecambe Bay. She researches how ever-changing ecosystems such as salt marshes and estuaries have been suppressed through human activities and, in turn, how they can reshape and inform our responses to climate change. She works across media in photography, video, drawing, writing, performance and socially engaged practice.
Artist & Filmmaker
Daniel Brereton
Daniel Brereton is an artist working in painting and film, his work in film is heavily influenced by the culture and people from the local area. His paintings are more of an expression of his imagination and explore the use of form, shapes and colours - often resembling flowers and other objects.
Artist Attic Coop Member:
Liana Obradavic
Liana is an artist and sculptor.
The Good Things Collective is a growing community business that acts to improve creative facilities and opportunities in an inclusive and accessible way. We’d like to see our patch recognised for its skills, talents and kindness which have long been under-appreciated. We believe the arts and creative activity can bring people together with a wide range of positive benefits.
In December 2020 our request to Companies House to rename as the Good Things Collective (departing from the Exchange Creative Community CIC) and evolve from a Small Membership CIC to a Large Membership CIC was approved. This means that our growing community of movers and shakers across the local area will be able to apply to become members of the organisation - giving people a real say and stake, as we continue to grow.
