Celebrate Heritage

We Collect, We Save, We Share, We Teach Heritage

LGK has heritage at the core of the organisation with a genuine aim to share the stories of cultures and generations before they are lost in time. Specialising in migration journeys and cultural struggles of acceptance. We celebrate the resilience of those of the past present and future.

What we promise

To be delicate with the heritage information that we collect, knowing that sensitivities exist with loved ones and certain subjects. We promise to be politically neutral and always show both sides of a story.

What's our mission

Is to create a model that has the universal ability to share heritage to all ages, genders and cultures.

What’s our vision

Is to become an international provider of heritage programmes. Offering cities across the globe the opportunity to celebrate the cultures of their city through the history of migration.

Heritage Portfolio

LGK startED its heritage journey in 2016 in which it began with a book that illustrated the food journey of migrant Greek Cypriots to Birmingham.

This later developed into a female only perspective award-winning documentary known as “Queens of Amathus” in 2019.

Thereafter, the creation of another award-winning documentary in conjunction with the 2022 Commonwealth games known as the “Queens of the Commonwealth”, explored the migration journeys of 22 women from various countries in the British Empire to the host city.

This has now formulated into a universal model known as “The Queens of the City”, has now sourced both a learning and creative heritage programme.

Queens of the City

Tour of Queens of Cyprus

After 6 months in production LGK created an educational piece on the spirit of Pan Cypriot women which was screened in New York, Nicosia, Athens, Limassol and the UK. The 60 minute documentary was received with open arms at all the screenings.
LGK is currently in talks to further develop the project into an education piece for schools. LGK productions is also in dialogue with mainstream broadcasters interested in acquiring the asset.

Queens of the Commonwealth

In association in the Heritage Lottery fund in 2022 LGK released a production that re-visited the unique journey of 22 women from various Commonwealth nations that due to life’s circumstances had migrated to Birmingham the second city.

Received a prestigious award from the Royal Television Society – The Best Documentary of 2023 and is now available to watch on ITVX.

Queens of Amathus

Working with the heritage lottery fund we secured a grant to document these journeys for the 1st time in history. This then led to an independent piece of work on re living the voyage of Greek Cypriot women from Cyprus to Birmingham.
