Now I've finished my cushions ready for donation to Inn Churches tomorrow I can't stop thinking about the journey this project has taken and the variety of different communities we've managed to get involved.
Communities which we've worked with:
- Inn Churches: They set the brief, and sparked the entire concept with Ben comment about how a little time invested in making something means so much.
- Live at Home: Our workshops with the Live at Home group have produced so much of the material for this project. The samples created within them really feel embedded with emotion and care as we engaged with them directly and experienced their positive reaction to the project. These workshops took place in two community based environments, The Hope Centre and Great Horton Village Hall.
- University: Fellow student at Huddersfield University have engaged with the project. It seems to have had a positive effect on their emotional well-being as in a period filled with deadlines and pressure they have been able to use the project as a way to have some 'down time'.
- Family: Envelopes were given to our families all located in different areas and therefore members of entirely different communities.
- Friends: Our friends have engaged positively in the project, they have responded well to our concept and embedded love in each sample they've created.
The variety of communities means the various components of the items have journeyed through such a variety of locations and been involved with so many individuals that each one truly captures the care taken to make something especially for those receiving Home Starter Packs.
