Today I attended my first Engagement Advisory Group meeting at the Horniman Museum and Gardens as their ‘young people’ specialist. I am pleased to be giving time to somewhere I love to visit with my family. This is a voluntary group comprised of individuals who are able to offer a strategic overview of their areas of expertise and act as advisors during the Collections Peoples Stories project at the Horniman Museum and Gardens. These areas of expertise include museum community engagement, participatory work, need and provision in their local boroughs, current initiatives and best practise working with their target groups: mental health service users, new arrivals, older persons, disabled people, young people, marginalised families and ESOL learners.
