What Keeps Us Well - Reflective Toolkit
As a part of What Keeps Us Well, we have also held a creative Open Call. Inspired by a few lines taken from A.F. Freeman’s 1921 poem titled ‘Shalford, 1921’, discovered in a Shalford Women’s Institute scrapbook at the Surrey History Centre, we invited artists, writers, and filmmakers to reflect on what keeps them well. You can find out more and see some of the incredible artwork that was submitted in our Open Call galleries.
We have also
created a Reflective Toolkit in response to this project, inspired by the Wheel of Wellbeing, each section focuses on one of six themes: Mind, Body, Spirit, People, Planet and Place. Drawing on heritage from the Surrey History Centre, selected to reflect these themes, the toolkit brings together historic images and documents, community-created artwork, reflective prompts, and creative activities designed to inspire personal reflection, conversation and connection.

Send something you’ve created to someone you appreciate today. When it’s not your birthday but just an ordinary day, it feels even more special to receive something unexpected that someone has made just for you.
