staff, these introductions are an opportunity to get to know the building,
to discover the displays and to have your say about modern art. Particularly
suitable for community groups/organisations new to gallery-going. Our regular
group visitors include: Access groups in Further Education, elders organisations,
mental health service user groups, community centres. Staff have extensive
experience of working with adults with learning difficulties.
Each session is tailor-made to suit all interests and abilities and might
involve looking, talking, simple practical activities and the use of handling
objects.

Community Advocates Programme
This programme builds bridges between key individuals who represent a range
of communities- including individuals who work at grass roots and at senior
management levels- and at Tate. All the participants live and or work in our
neighbourhood: Southwark, Lambeth and Tower Hamlets. The aim of the programme
is to give a broader understanding of Tate Modern, in return participants give
a presentation about their work and who they represent within their community.
The programme is intended to be the beginning of an ongoing relationship between
the advocates and Tate Modern. Regular celebration events take place throughout
the year with all advocates.

Seniors Events
Tate Modern runs regular free events for seniors who live in Southwark or Lambeth.
Senior events are very informal get-togethers led by artist educator Michaela
Ross and other Tate staff. Refreshments are provided, as well as the opportunity
to look at some artworks in the gallery and to meet new people. These events
are aimed at individuals; hence you do not need to come as a group. Most
importantly, you do not need to be an ‘art expert’ as these events
are particularly suitable for those new to gallery-going or new to modern
and contemporary art. Annual workshops are also organised as part of local
and national festivals that celebrate age.

Small Steps in a Big Space
Small Steps in a Big Space is aimed at local parents some of whom are deemed 'hard
to reach' with pre-school children who take part in a series of workshops
and celebration events. An outreach worker plays a significant part in developing
relationships with the parents. In 2006 she was awarded an 'Active in
the Community Award' as part of Southwark International Women's
Week.
