In May 2021 I helped the Director of Public Health in Rochdale break with convention for her annual report. She wanted the (normally boring) report to celebrate how creativity had supported residents’ wellbeing over lockdown.

So, in partnership with Link4Life, I interviewed (mostly over Zoom), wrote, sketched and compiled a 32-page, large format booklet to tell all.

I’m pleased to say it helped the Council win the Community Heroes category of the MJ Achievement Awards 2021.

Here’s a pageturner of the whole booklet and some of my favourite spreads.
