Poems for your loved ones

Working with Stockton-on-Tees I rang 35 isolated members of the local community

During the final lockdown I was contacted by Stockton Council and asked to contact some of the most isolated people in the borough. Before this, I spoke to friends and relatives in order to build poems to surprise them. Then over a period of one week I made a series of phonecalls to strangers who were moved by their personal poems.

Have a watch of the video above where a church group said thank you to two members of the community through a heartfelt poem.
