The Stories project is underway! I know some of you are already writing your stories, and I can’t wait to read them. If you’ve spent time on a rehab ward, or had a longer stay on another ward, you’re invited to contribute your story about your experiences with mental health too. You can write, draw, tell, paint, take photos, and/or be part of the Stories film. Join us for a workshop (or two or three!) to get inspired – come along to try it out with no pressure to put anything in the book. Creative writing: Friday 31st March, The Library at the REH, 2-3pm Storytelling: Friday 7th April, The Library at the REH, 2-3pm Film and photo taster session: 11th April, The Hive at the REH, 10am-1pm Poetry: Friday 14th April, The Library at the REH, 2-3pm Creative writing: Thursday 20th April, Eric Liddell Centre, 6.30-8pm
You can email, call or pop into the office for more info, and support with getting your story on paper if you need it. You can also tell your story and we’ll transcribe it for you. If you’re raring to go – go for it! We can include up to 1500 words and/or up to 4 photos or pictures per person. Just let us know what you’re planning!
