Local people are working on a tapestry illustrating Filey's rich cultural and fishing heritage. With a completion date in Febriuary 2009, the project is funded by the Local Heritage Initiative via the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Initially financed by the Children's Fund the Filey Rocks and Fossils project uses seashore walks and activity days to inform and educate families and children. With more than 200 participants a year, most of whom are local, the project has been a huge success. Filey4wards provides advice for the project.

Filey4wards is a participant and advisor in the initiative known as the Filey Bay Partnership. Members of the Partnership are seeking grant funding to build a concept centre, initially known as the 'Filey Bay Discovery Centre' . Covering a breadth of features, from culture and heritage, to the natural environment and biodiversity, the centre aims to be a coastal equivalent of the famous 'Eden Centre'
