Keziah Wenham-Kenyon has been having conversations with people that make up a fragment of the sprawling social fabric of the care system for older adults. This three part series will take a closer look into care, from perspectives that are underrepresented and intersections that require more compassion-led, people-focused support than traditional forms of care are currently providing.

ACCESS INFORMATION
season 1
IN 2020 as part of our lockdown activities, we gathered personal stories from people across the country of their experiences of the care system for adults in the UK.
We spent hours chatting with people whose relatives have received care at home and/or lived in a care home, hearing from those that struggled with the system or found it helpful, and people who work in the system. With permission, we recorded the conversations and commissioned a podcast maker, Jennifer Bell, to turn them into a fantastic listening experience. We also commissioned visual artist, Naomi Gennery, to create a response to the conversations which can be seen in the zine below.
