Odin's Poems
As part of our digital inclusion programme, we are open to all kinds of suggestion of help from the members of the community. Odin has been to quite a few of our sessions, and we have helped him in all kinds of ways to get reconnected. This week I was personally delighted that he brought along some poetry that he has written, to share with us, and asked for our help to digitise.

This film includes our work in the schoolyard to improve the whole school surroundings and our trips to collaborate and work in the extended community.
