Virtual Day Trips - Horsham Park – funded by Sussex Community Foundation, in partnership with Friends of Horsham Park and Age UK, West Sussex, Brighton & HoveWhistlestop Arts secured Covid-19 recovery funding from Sussex Community Foundation which enabled us to research, design and create a Virtual Day Trip focusing on Horsham Park. The main aim is to highlight Covid-19 safe spaces, accessible to all, that encourage residents and visitors to explore Horsham Park and the wider area.The day trip sessions are based around a bespoke film that includes interviews with a wide variety of people connected to the Park. The sessions were delivered to small groups of people in Covid-19 safe venues to give participants an immersive experience that increases confidence and connects them to their communities. Other groups and residential homes can access our free resources and run sessions in their own settings.
The company's stakeholders are the management committee, programme partners, fund providers and participants.The directors of the company have lived and worked in the area for a number of years and have developed past and current projects using their experience of working with vulnerable communities. Each project has an evaluation strand where participants, stakeholders and future partners can share their experiences to help inform future activity. The company was founded after consultation with a group of visually impaired women struggling due to the impact of the pandemic. This group continues to engage with activities and feedback to the directors their experiences.
