As a result of these
sessions, 12 large, colourful canvases were created, often drawing on emotions,
feelings, thoughts, objects and memories related to the participants
bereavement.
The canvases were displayed in a pop-up exhibition for family and friends on the 23rd of October 2025.
Tomorrow is a Beautiful Idea - Community Wall
As a legacy for the project the young people were
invited to design a community wall
on the side of Woughton Community
Council's new Health & Wellbeing Centre. Using a phrase that
particularly resonated with the group – “tomorrow is a beautiful idea”, the
young people chose a bird, insect or flower that meant something to then and
their loved one and sprayed a stencil on the wall.
