A SERIES of podcasts have been created to share stories of isolation, bravery and kindness. The project, called Together We Are Stronger, is run by Yeovil Art Space and was initiated by artist Natasha Rand. Ms Rand has been interviewing staff and residents from Somerset Care, and elderly people from Yeovil. She has talked to them about significant moments in their life including travel, friendships, wartime hardship and mental health, as well as how they have been coping during lockdown. The project was created to celebrate National Intergenerational Week (March 8 to 14). And so the podcasts have been used to inspire young people through family activity packs and creative workshops for teens.
