A community organisation in Rochdale is using the power of poetry to connect local people and give them the opportunity to reflect on lockdown in an innovative way thanks to recent National Lottery funding.
Poetry Behind the Mask is a creative project run by the Multicultural Resource Centre. The group recently received almost £6,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest funder of community activity in the UK, to support the local BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) communities by providing resources to help improve health and wellbeing.
