Friends of Independent Lives: Postcards from Disability Pride Month Worthing
The participants at Friends of Independent Lives are getting ready to share their stories & lived experiences through a series of workshops developing a series of postcards.
About
The Postcards from Disability Pride Month Worthing project aims to share the stories of up to 10 disabled people from the Worthing & Adur with local communities during Disability Pride Month, July 2023. Participants will be given the opportunity to take part in free online or face-to-face creative writing workshops to develop a piece of creative writing to feature on a postcard telling their personal story. These postcards will be available at venues and retailers in and around Worthing.
This project will be supported and driven by Friends of Independent Lives, a local group of disabled people and carers who have come together to help build a fairer society. They would like to hold these workshops, and share the personal stories they reveal, to give disabled people a platform to share their experiences with the Worthing community.
Friends of Independent Lives is a free membership programme which aims to allow as many people as possible to help shape the services which they provide.
