ReEntry Trip To Croome

As one of the aims of the project was to create a link between Croome and Heath Town, it was always my intention to bring some of those I was working with from one site to the other. Now that the young people from ReEntry I have been working with have had the time to develop their skills with a camera, it seemed like a good opportunity to test those skills in a new environment.

I was curious to see the response of young people to Croome, as many haven’t previously visited a property such as this - would they enjoy experiencing something new and hearing of the property’s fascinating history, or would they not be able to relate to it - struggling to reconcile the difference between the this country park and the urban sprawl of Wolverhampton and The Black Country, and the different lifestyles they implied?

From what I could see, everyone seemed to have a good time and all listened carefully to all of the very helpful and enthusiastic volunteers. What their impressions were - I don’t know. After half term, we will all sit down and evaluate their experience and use their feedback to see if they can help Croome in their efforts to develop interest from a whole new audience.

Here are some photographs from the day.
