Open Storytellers Work
Skills Group are commissioned to write an easy read leaflet for the town
Our Work Skills group - Mike, Peter,
Charlotte, Tracey and Katie have been working with Kate Hellard from Frome Town
Council to create an easy read leaflet all about the town.
We met up with the 5 town
rangers and with Chris Stringer the Environment Manager. We asked them lots of
questions about their work with open spaces, parks and rivers. We also met two Town
councillors Sheila Gore and Peter Macfadyen. They told us that they are there
to help people and listen. We all went
to see the offices on Palmer Street and saw there were lots of stairs and it
was very small. It is so good that they are moving to the new Town Hall. We met
lots of people who work there and they were really excited about the leaflet.
The last final few weeks have been
really difficult as it has been a challenge to make all the information into
easy read language. We have achieved so
much and its built our confidence. We have been doing lots of teamwork and the
leaflet is now almost finished. Soon
people will be able to sample the leaflet and give us some feedback.
WATCH THIS SPACE!
