I was thrilled to receive my grant pack on Friday which informs me that the WCMT (www.wcmt.org.uk) are offering me £6000 for my travels in Oct/Nov. This is brilliant news as it allows me to plan the trip with the budget in mind and to get going with my research. Today I had a reporter from the Todmorden News come round to find out about the award and to talk to me about Purple Patch Arts. It was a great opportunity for me to let her know about the work that I am doing and how the company are working together to find new ways of supporting people with Dementia to communicate using creativity as a tool. All very excited. I sent her this picture to go with the article, it is from my last trip to Africa in 2007 and is of me with a couple of girls in a Namibian community, beautiful girls and totally inspiring me to return to Africa and meet loads of new people.
