Why have St Clare Hospice collaborated with Parndon Mill on The Unspoken Conversation community art project?
St Clare Hospice’s catchment area of West Essex and the borders of East Herts is richly diverse with people from many different faiths and ethnicities, particularly in Harlow, where the project was based. However, like so many hospices, we know that there are significant cultural and language barriers that prevent many people from ethnic minority groups from accessing our services, care and support.
Chloe Rich, Patient and Family Support Services Project Manager, leading on the project for St Clare Hospice shared: “This project is an invaluable opportunity for us to strengthen existing and develop new relationships with minority ethnic groups whilst also enabling many more people to open up and publicly share, (and exhibit!) their own thoughts and feelings about death, dying and loss in new and creative ways.”
This project has been kindly funded by Hospice UK‘s Dying Matters Community Grants Programme.
