This summer, we welcomed a group from Heart of England Mencap to undertake a photography project at Anne Hathaway's Cottage. We're delighted that some of the photographs taken are now on display in the orchard.
I would like to do this again. My favourite bit was taking photos of the flowers
— One of the participant's comments to the overall photography project at Anne Hathaway's Cottage
I would like to say a huge thank you to Heart of England Mencap for their wonderful enthusiasm for visiting the property as well as to the Anne Hathaway's Cottage Team for being so flexible and approachable and to the volunteers who attended the sessions over the summer and ensured that the customers enjoyed their time with us.
100% of the participants from Heart of England Mencap have said that they have enjoyed the project and 100% stated that they would come back again to enjoy more activities at the cottage. 80% of participants said that they liked the outdoors, so it was great that they were able to explore inside the cottage as well!
Overall, the group took some wonderful photographs on their tablets as they used our site as inspiration for their photography activities at Heart of England Mencap.
To see more of the wonderful photos the Heart of England Mencap participants took, come along to our very own outdoor exhibition held at Anne Hathaway's Cottage which will be on display throughout October.
