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.
