15
families from all over Stroud took part over 5 days in the summer
of 2008. Only one day was cancelled due to bad weather. 90% of
participants asked for a copy of the finished postcard pack to
make walks into town more interactive. GP surgeries and Stroud
Tourist Information will be approached to see if packs sell well
if available to buy. Three key GP surgeries that cover the top
of town area:- Locking Hill, Beeches Green, and Rowcroft.
We would also like to take the final product to Matt Pearce at
Stroud District Council to show him how arts could be incorporated
into his Exercise on Prescription programme.
The project was based at the Parliament Children’s
Centre who regularly work with families from the top of town area.
Working with artists Alice Hodge and Helen Rimmer, stories and
digital images were collected to create a walk around the area
that could be turned into an ‘I-Spy’ game and postcard pack.
