POPPs SCHEME
Kim Wiltshire
2007
The Lime Arts and Health Partnership for Older People's Project's scheme was built on the success of the Pathways project - a three year programme working with communities using creativity to explore issues around mental health and well being. Pathways was aimed at under 25s as well as over 50s, however with the POPPs scheme we could concentrate on rolling out creative sessions for older people across Manchester.
PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT - DRAMA WORK
ROB VALE
ELLA VALE
2006
As part of the Pennine Trust's Patient and Public Involvement Week, actress Ella Vale worked with amputees who are still actively involved with the trust. From discussions with them, Ella created a monologue based around the journey a patient takes through diagnosis, consultation, treatment, after care and, crucially, as patient representatives.
This lively, humorous, moving and thought-provoking piece was then performed at each of the sites during PPI week, for those attending the roadshow sessions.
REAL RECIPES

ROCHDALE LADIES COOKING GROUP
2005
This project was funded through Rochdale Healthy Living Initiative. Public health nutritionist Francesca Banner led a series of cooking sessions, bringing Pakistani and Bangladeshi women together to share recipes and cook for each other. The results were turned into a lively and imaginative recipe book, with 1000 copies being produced for distribution within Rochdale communities. Lime designed and printed the books, which were launched at a special event at Rochdale Odeon Cinema.
