On Friday 1st May, 7 Involve carers took part in a consultation for the “Reconnecting Scotney” project. 🏰 They took part in a gardening activity, history tour and a mindfulness session led by staff and volunteers at the castle. Afterwards, there was ample time to hear about the project, view plans, give constructive feedback, and share their own ideas abut how Scotney can engage with all members of the community.

A big thank you to the staff of Scotney Castle- National Trust who made us all very welcome, provided tea and cake, and showed their gratitude by giving each person a gift token. The carers all had a wonderful time and valued having their opinions heard. 💚

One carer said: “What a very lovely day, thank you so much for organising it. Incredibly generous thank you from them too, for what I found interesting and fun. I couldn’t stop thinking about what they asked and what they are trying to achieve all evening. Absolutely brilliant.”
