Lewisham Voices
"There used to be wild cats living there. We used to feed them and give them milk and cat food, Whiskers and fish.
I love animals! I'm not allowed to have animals where I live now. Used to be a lot of wild cats at this hospital for years.

There were some horses down there, loads of horses in the fields, and we used to stroke them we did. We used to pinch the apples and pears in there, apples and pears and feed them to the horses, we used to go to the orchard and pinch the apples and pears."

'Lewisham Voices' was a collaborative community history project, forming part of 'London Voices', a 3 year programme funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The project was a collaboration between The Museum of London and Lewisham Libraries Service and will involved contributions to a community archive from people who live in Lewisham. Entelechy Arts worked with the existing partners to enable people with learning disabilities to be included in Lewisham's community archive and will focus on the stories of people whose life experiences and memories are often excluded from a community's history. Entelechy's work focused on enabling the project to include people who have different ways of talking about their stories and experiences.
 
Song Exchange
"What's that?"

A joint pilot partnership between Entelechy Arts and Camberwell Choir School. The project gathered songs from the community for young local children, which were then made into a CD and book for local nurseries, parents and primary schools to use. As part of this pilot the two organisations facilitated highly successful sessions which brought older singers, musicians, including those with disabilities, and their songs together with local nursery children.
