Surviving Care: South West Seniors' Conference held on
Taunton Wednesday 13th July 2016
Attendees at the Taunton Conference heard how hens were helping to 'henergise' older people through a project funded by the Big Lottery. Presentation given by Equal Arts.
Attendees were also entranced by a presentation on Hearing Dogs and how they are such valuable companions to those with hearing loss. The Conference raised over £100 on the day in donations to assist Hearing Dogs.
The Real People Theatre Company is a women's theatre company founded in 1999 by Sue Lister and Anne Murray. Their performance 'I am x years old when will it be safe for me to come out', looks at why so many women hide part of themselves for fear of prejudice and social exclusion when going into care. It is as if they wear paper bags which mask the 'shameful parts'.
