All my work has an environmental element to it whether it is relation to the wellbeing of the elderly or young people using outdoor spaces or their homes. But more specifically I have worked on environmental projects over the years on Living with Water an exploration of how people think they can live with rising sea levels, Countryside Holidays for Inner City Kids which was all about using the natural environment to produce spaces of care, to the current HAIRE project which is about working with older people in communities across four countries (UK, France, Belgium and The Netherlands) and trying to enable them to tackle loneliness through encountering society and nature.
