Journey To A Friend Journeys
across Camden using public transport - buses, overground, underground,
walking, electric wheelchair and car. Meeting up at the end of each journey
members recorded their experience on maps, and used a table loom to weave a
collective piece of fabric showing the interesting and poor parts of their
trips. (2012)

films available to see on You Tube-
Journey To A Friend.
Safer Streets … please!
Campaigning piece made
by Camden Older Peoples Steering group in association with KOVE about the
barriers and obstacles in people getting around streets - dodgy pavements,
road repair debris, pot holes, overhanging bushes, dangerous road crossings
etc. (2011)
Living Seats:
KOVE’s
community action film with Acting Up Multimedia
KOVE’s campaign has opened
up a good debate about seating. Living Seats film covers the
campaign, installation of the first bench and local residents feedback –
young and old. Our launch event which was filmed by older volunteers was
also covered by the local press with their photographer attending:
“Pensioners are at last sitting pretty.” This has also
served to raise the profile of community seating and encourage a renewed
sense of ownership and pride in the area. (2010)
Keeping
Safer – older people
tacking the fear of crime. This film features the
voices of local older people - sharing their concerns about crime but
also giving their own tips about being vigil, tackling bogus callers
and keeping safe. Fear of crime can lead to some older people becoming
isolated in their homes. It is hoped that this initiative will help to
build the confidence of vulnerable older people and help people to
keep safer. (2009)
Home Care & Us
–
following KOVE’s first home
care film, this piece shows service users and home care workers talking
about the care that is needed and how they work together. Jill and Jack also
describe how good home care assists them in caring for their relatives. This
film has also been central in helping to recruit home care staff, raising
awareness of care needs, training and supervision sessions. (2008)
Getting Around & Safer Road Crossings
– KOVE and Sure
Start show the difficulties that some people have in using green man road
crossings due to the shortage of time allowed on some crossings. KOVE
members filmed older people in Kilburn area. The film has been used in
conjunction with KOVE – Sure Start survey, report and campaign for positive
change. (2008)
Partnerships For Better Home Care
– Training Materials. Film made
by KOVE involving home care service users describing their experience of
receiving personal care and what for them are considered good care
standards. This also includes Margery’s World in which Margery describes her
day to day life, how she keeps independent. This film has been successfully
used by home care providers for training their staff. (2007)
