A little while ago, our Street interns took part in a co-curation day at Glastonbury Abbey, where they were invited to choose a piece for the museum collection. Their pick? A teddy inspired by an anime series centred on King Arthur and the Abbey’s legendary history a brilliant and unique choice!

They recently returned to the Abbey for a creative storytelling session, giving the interns the chance to see their chosen piece on display. Even more excitingly, by pure coincidence, a visitor dressed as a character from the very same anime was there too!

Here are our amazing interns alongside the piece they selected for the Abbey Museum a fantastic moment of creativity, collaboration, and a touch of magic ✨

Wow!! What a wonderful Team Day we had!

It really reminded us how important it is to come together, spend quality time with one another, and reconnect with nature.

A huge thank you to Somerset Wildlife Trust, your guidance, experience, and knowledge made the day truly special. Managing such a large group while ensuring everyone gained something meaningful from the experience was incredible.

We felt genuinely privileged to explore all that Ham Hill has to offer, even embracing the wonderfully changeable weather!

I would also like to thank the ranger for taking the time to speak with us, and the café and volunteer staff for their support (especially when the rain arrived!), everything was so thoughtfully organised.

Everyone took something away from the day, whether personal or professional. For me, it was the chance to step away from the day-to-day, immerse myself in nature, and connect with colleagues on a deeper level.

It felt particularly meaningful that this aligned with Mental Health Awareness Week, making the experience even more impactful.

We have an amazing team who embraced the day, thank you all for such a valuable and memorable day. - Shona Howes, Supported Employment Manager 💚🌟
