Some of my previous projects (also see my Writer-in-Residence posts)

Capturing Memories: working with elderly people in care homes to help them create pieces of memoir. Sometimes I simply scribed, sometimes I ran memoir-writing groups, sometimes I asked loads of questions and then - using the person's own words - created poems or short prose pieces to give to them and their families. (Funded by RuralArts - Thirsk.)

Working on the 9-month The egg, the womb, the head and the moon multi-disciplinary arts project

Working on creativity and communication with Hull University's Faculty of Health & Social Care

Bringing primary schoolchildren and sheltered housing residents together to create poetry for an outdoor sculpture trail in the Yorkshire Dales National Park

Using creative writing and visual arts to improve children's self-image - with Impressions Photography Gallery, and York City Art Gallery.

Exploring Yorkshire dialect poetry with Settle Stories.

Working with the BBC on 'Country Tracks' and 'Ramblings'.

Inspiring secondary school teachers at
Dove Cottage.

Lecturer in Creative Writing for Leeds College of Art & Design.

Working with school-groups and multi-cultural visitors at Brontë Parsonage.

Thackray Medical Museum - the Family Learning Project on health, and the 'Thackray Remembers' initiative capturing the stories of the designers of the first artificial hips!

Helping 4-year-olds understand story structure, and create, tell - and remember! - their own stories - via the
Find Your Talent programme.
