of me, the team has been a flame that feeds itself, self-perpetuating, Tim has helped,
made us equal. I will apply for a grant to teach people in Cambridge House, £10K,
and I’m doing a mailout re submitting works of art. Sarah tells story of reading a
poem out, had never been able to do it. It was wow! Never ever done that before …
CH combination of reading against pictures was powerful and unforgettable. Now
being on video … confidence now three quarters! Paula: S.TV was saying s.th about
communicating to wider community re being in hospital, sums up S.TV platform
being very individual, it was us saying how it was like. Paula comments again about
the meanings of the corridor. Helen re work responding to the corridor hanging in
the corridor. S.TV has been wider than just mental health, employment skills, being
team … Sarah reads a letter to ‘Mr.Mrs. General Public’ re mental health … re
searching for a voice. Paula – it is positive being in a project wider than just mental
health. Explaining to Tim about their world! (laughter) tackles prejudice … Tim:
enlightening experience, drive, enthusiasm, team seems to have no limits
