As the world entered lockdown, we embarked on new territory, moving activities online and working to find new ways to keep our community connected and well.

We experimented with different types of online engagement, including Facebook lives/events and campaigns, resource packs and Zoom socials and choirs. We set up a Mail Art project sending out bespoke packs and got on the blower to people we knew were struggling and/or didn’t have access to a computer or WI-FI.

When things began to open up in the Summer 2020, we engaged in socially distanced, outdoor conversations with participants for our Lockdown Stories project, gathering stories and experiences that will shape future artwork and become insightful testaments of life in lockdown.

We also started to safely operate small creative support group activity, adapting to the changing local and national guidelines and restrictions.  This is challenging to manage, however necessary for the mental health of our community.

We would like to give thanks to all the funders and partners that have supported us throughout this time. We wouldn’t have been able to keep going or look to the future without this support, thank you.
