Clara Collett is a community-led innovation practitioner and Head of Fundraising and Impact at Knowle West Media Centre (KWMC), where she works at the intersection of creativity, participation and social change. With over ten years of experience designing and delivering arts, education and community programmes, she creates inclusive spaces where people can shape the future of their neighbourhoods and everyday lives.

Her work focuses on equitable participation, cultural placemaking and digital inclusion, underpinned by the belief that innovation already exists within communities and should be recognised, resourced and amplified.

Through KWMC Bristol’s Living Lab, Clara has supported participatory approaches that use storytelling, digital arts, making and collective imagination to move communities from being consulted to becoming active co-creators of change.
