Creative Exchange results in new book!

Over the past year friendship between residents at Parkfield House Nursing Home in Hillingdon and Glebe Primary School has gone from strength to strength.

Thanks to funding from the Heathrow Community Fund, the group have got together weekly with creative writers and illustrators for their Creative Exchange project.

Little Alice - Head in the Clouds is their take on classic fairy tales and childhood stories.

Each resident receieved a copy of the book during a celebration with drama games and group readings at the school. Copies of the book have also gone into the school's library.

Parkfield resident Maureen said: "I think it's lovely, I really do. It's brought tears to my eyes, I didn't expect anything like this... I think we could get this published, create a series! I've even started making up stories in my head at night when I'm in bed - I used to make up stories for my children all the time. 

“It's been a project that involved everybody. All of us could say as much or as little as we liked. It was teamwork!”

With the momentum of the project, Parkfield Peckers have gone on to secure further project funding to continue their partnership with Glebe School!
