Made with many is a community-led arts programme which produces events and activities designed to surprise, delight and inspire local people. The programme aims to inspire more local Corby people than ever before to take the lead in experiencing, creating and taking part in high quality arts and cultural activities. Through conversations with local people and community decision-making panels, Made In Corby puts the community at the heart of commissioning artists and producing new and exciting events.

We are an small independent community group who have a small charity status, our main objective is to enhance the lives of the children who attend Maplefields school.

Maplefields is for children that have a statement of educational needs due to complex social, emotional and behavioural issues. These children are unable to attend local authority run schemes. They also fall into a category of not being able to attend Disabilty groups due to the complexities of their needs. The children that attend Maplefields school have a hidden Disabilty and therefore they are a unique  set of children that cannot attend social groups or play-schemes.  

We are trying to raise funds to sustain activities for these children to attend outside of school hours. We do this through fundraising and events. We are in our infancy and this is a learning curve for us all.

We are trying to forge local ties within our community and we welcome new members to join us on our journey and welcome the wealth of knowledge that they may bring to Maplefields circle of friends.
