SPOTLIGHT ON...
All Seasons’ Writing Group
I set up the All Seasons writing group in October 2017, writes Cilla Shiels.
I’d sadly lost my husband earlier that year and asked for donations to be given to Warrington Disability Partnership (a service and support centre for supported living in Warrington). We’d both taught Special Education in the local college and we’d liaised with the charity on numerous occasions on behalf of our students welfare.
I dropped £500 into the Centre reception and thought, that’s the end of that – or so I thought. A Centre colleague who remembered us, rung to offer her condolences, but at the same time apologised for being an opportunist. The Centre wanted to offer local people a writing group and she thought I’d fit the bill. I decided to give it a go as it was only a six-week programme and it would give me a focus during a difficult time in my life.
