The Alma Heritage Project brings residents together through creative workshops, community gatherings, and storytelling activities that celebrate the history and memories of the Alma Estate and Ponders End. 🏡
These welcoming sessions provide opportunities for residents to share experiences, explore local history, connect with neighbours, and contribute to a growing community archive. No previous experience is needed, just a willingness to share, listen, and be part of the story. 💬
The Alma Heritage Project began with a wonderful afternoon of connection, conversation, and shared memories. ✨
Our first workshop brought residents together over afternoon tea, creating a relaxed and welcoming space where people could meet, reconnect, and share their experiences of the Alma Estate and Ponders End. 🍵 It was a beautiful afternoon filled with laughter, memories, and conversations across generations. 😊 Residents shared stories about the places, people, and moments that have helped shape the community, creating the first contributions towards the Alma Heritage Archive. 📖
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our first gathering such a success. 🙏 This was the beginning of a journey to preserve and celebrate the voices, memories, and experiences of the Alma Estate. ❤️
"Thank you to Angela and Maria for a trip down memory lane it was very interesting hope we can do it again soon 💕💕💕💕💕"
"I had a lovely afternoon thank you Angela and Maria 💖"
Over the summer, we will be hosting a couple of creative heritage sessions where residents can come together, share memories, and continue helping to shape the Alma Heritage Archive.
The workshops will provide relaxed and welcoming opportunities to explore local history, look through historic photographs, share stories, and take part in creative activities inspired by the people and places that have shaped the Alma Estate and Ponders End.
More details and dates will be announced soon.
