Contain Outbreak Management Project
Living with the COVID- 19 pandemic over the last 18 months has been challenging for everyone as BEMSCA support services at Fairfield House closed for a short period when everyone was forced to stay at home. We know this had a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of members and the wider community. Bemsca has been reaching out into these communities to hear and record thoughts and experiences during the time of the pandemic.

Oral Histories Project with the Bath Ethnic Minority Senior Citizens Association
This project has been centred around capturing the life stories of the elders of BEMSCA. In particular, I was interested in capturing stories and memories surrounding peoples' transition from their country of origin to England, as this is something which is often not well documented in spite of the fact that it is something which is central to their stories.
