We are now nearing the end of the IMPACT project. To round off the journey we held an event in Nottingham at the NRSB centre on Ortzen Street.
This particular IMPACT event was extremely well attended. We had three groups doing either Dancing, Drumming or Storytelling. The Drumming group gave an amazing performance, after only a 10 minute warm-up!
Jan Thorley gave a speech just before lunch about her achievements to date, including becoming Mayor or Eastwood and achieving the gold level for the Discovery Award (a Duke of Edinburgh equivalent for the over 50s).

In the afternoon the group took part in a discussion, where people were asked to think about certain priorities, including, being able to live independently at home, being able to get from one place to the next, making friends and developing hobbies. From this task we then asked them how NRSB can help in meeting some of these priorities and a whole host of idea were talked about. The group wanted lots of social opportunities including day trips and activities. They also talked about how important transport is to them.
Most importantly those who came on the day kept re-iterating how much they enjoyed coming. Comments were received to say how fun but informative the day had been and that they feel like NRSB are beginning to make some positive changes.
