Standing at the Sky's Edge

Chris Bush and Richard Hawley

2019

Three interlinked stories about living on the Park Hill estate in Sheffield over 60 years. The second story is about Joy who moves to Sheffield with her cousins in the 1980s to escape the civl war in Liberia. She is about 14 and has had to leave her parents behind. This is a musical featuring the music of Richard Hawley.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
