Shifnal Living History Evaluation Report

The Shifnal Living History Evaluation project was an innovative and successful intergenerational project which forged a new partnership between South Staffordshire Housing Association- Housing Plus and Shropshire Council Community Arts and Festivals Team. Through participatory arts workshops delivered between February- July 2011 by artists Brendan Jackson, Maggie Allmark and Urban Voice the project actively engaged over 120 participants, including residents and family members from Yew Tree Court and children and young people from the local community.

Through reminiscence work, drama and textile workshops an archive of participants’ personal and social history has been captured to create a ‘slice of life’ living archive.

Walsall Council Creative Development Team were commissioned by Shropshire Council Community Arts and Festivals Team to undertake the project documentation and evaluation role. With extensive knowledge and experience of community arts practice and project management, delivery and evaluation for various partnerships across health, education, disability etc the team have led the evaluation process which has resulted in this report.
