In 2015, we undertook a strategic review that expanded our remit to include Health & Wellbeing and the Arts. This versatile approach has enabled Legacy WM to meet a wider range of local people’s needs. We also introduced Family Fit, an umbrella wellbeing programme funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. To date this has been twice renewed and provides continuity of service and outcomes for our smaller projects.
Old Wives’ Tales documented first generation migrant stories from South Asian women who relocated with their families to the UK. We created a museum installation (likely the first of its kind), and printed a well-received exhibition book. This vital archival of social history is especially poignant as we have since lost some of those who lent their voices to this collection.
