Enlisting talented artists to create impactful murals throughout Fleetwood, each piece will celebrate local culture, address social issues, and beautify the town.

Christian said: "The Big Heart Project is more than just an art initiative; it's a movement towards a more connected, expressive, and understanding community.

"We believe in the power of art to open minds and hearts, and with the public's support through our crowdfunding campaign, we can make Fleetwood a model of what communities can achieve together."

Hayley added: "The project is all about bringing people together and making Fleetwood a better place, one mural at a time.

"It's not just about painting walls, it's about creating spaces where everyone feels a part of something bigger.

"Every contribution to our crowdfunding campaign, no matter the size, makes a real difference."
