Bream Dream is a network for people in the Forest of Dean interested in making the area a more creative place to live. The group holds regular meetings every 6 weeks at the West Dean Centre in Bream, Lydney.
Lets meet the team! From left to right, Tracey, Debbie and Sophia.
Sophia is the Creative Catalyst for the Forest of Dean area. She holds the regular ‘open table’ meeting space of Bream Dream. Always actively listening, asking who isn't in the space and seeking to include. Catalysing community ideas and conversation.
Debbie is the Creative Catalyst for Matson, WhiteCity and Robinswood. As well as catalysing for this area of Gloucester, Debbie also holds a regular space for Culture Matson. She is an impartial person who supports the group with their Sheepy Bank. There has been much rich learning from this over 9 years and she is key to helping us introduce a similar Sheepy Bank to the Bream Dream.
Tracey is a Co-lead of Create Gloucestershire. She holds space and facilitates conversation at Bream Dream. She helps to hold and encourage all the voices in (and not in) the room. Always making transparency and equity of voice a key part of the meeting.
