Really excited to be part of Pilotlight's Setting Directions programme, who will be helping us develop our Attic Project service into a new social business to help older people declutter their homes. Charlotte Powell The Attic Project Remiscence

Had a fantastic first few meetings with Pilotlight and their Pilotlighters from Barclays Bank. Looking forward to their recommendations on our social business plans for the Attic Project

So sad to hear of the passing of Dilys Price OBE It was an absolute privilege to work with her & we were so pleased when she agreed to become our Care & Repair Cymru patron. Such an amazing motivator and spokesperson for older people. We will miss her and her joie de vivre. RIP Dilys. 🪂 💖

First up in our #Methods4change Q&A contributor series we learn about how Dr Jen Owen uses a combination of object-orientated interviews and go-alongs in her research: aspect.ac.uk/resources/meth… Prof Sarah Marie Hall Prof Ali Browne (she/her) Dr Laura Pottinger Ulrike Ehgartner Aspect Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities Network

Dr Jen Owen "I hope that my work with the Attic Project will demonstrate the importance of services which focus upon possessions, and that sit between housing, social care, welfare and health provision."

Having identified how clutter can be a barrier to repairs, adaptions and improvements to the home, the Attic Project is doing brilliant work to help older people to declutter. The Attic Project Remiscence Charlotte Powell

For 3 years, our pioneering Attic Project has helped older people in south Wales declutter their homes and reminisce about their belongings. Charlotte has done some reminiscing of her own about the project in a new blog: careandrepair.org.uk/en/attic-proje… The Attic Project Remiscence Charlotte Powell

Sadly, funding for the Attic Project has come to an end this week but we are hopeful that we will be able to resume our service again in the future. Thanks to all for the support and keep an eye on our page for further updates. Care & Repair Cymru Charlotte Powell Safer Wales
