Case Study – Rethinking Health
As part of Support Staffordshire’s Healthy Communities project in South-East Staffordshire, we held some workshops with different community groups in Burton and Lichfield, exploring the topic of health in communities, and how extremes in weather affect our lives and wellbeing. The rich conversations ranged through discussing food, housing, travel and transport, employment, the environment, and the most important question – ‘What keeps you up at night?’. Enormous thanks to the Burton Women’s Collective and the Lichfield neurodiverse community for taking part in these workshops, and to artist Ella Kasperowicz for creating illustrated summaries of the conversations.
