LAP QUILT

Quaggy Quilters, founded 1999, 18 members

This quilt, made by one of our members , epitomises what we love about patchwork. Using recycled fabrics from GAP and NEXT shirts, Mary hand-sewed the quilt. She was using up what she had available - just like the pioneers!

These designs by Jocelyn Burton for silver candlesticks to be used in the club's coffee room were commissioned as part of our Millennium celebrations. They draw on the lotus design on the salon chandelier and the 'R' motif that figures throughout the clubhouse.

BASEBALL CAP

Salters' Institute of Industrial Chemistry, founded 1918, membership varies

The Salters' Institute established its Chemistry Club in 1991, and through its activities the Club truly represents the 'ancient' and 'modern' of the Salters' Company founded in 1394. Throughout history, the salt trade has reflected the use of salt in chemistry. Today this lives on through the Chemistry Club, with its fun, modern approach to prize-giving for its members - hence the baseball cap.

MANDIR

Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, founded 1995, the Hindu community of Neasden and surrounding boroughs

There is always space made at home for God, and it may be as delicate as this example of mandir or only a photograph of a deity. Traditionally mothers would do morning prayers using the various items that you see provided, and at night it is quite common for a family assembly to take place around the mandir.

RECORDING OF PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS

Simon Community, founded 1963, service provider

Although seen daily by the public, homeless people are seldom approached and engaged with. They are viewed as mutes. Our audio recording fills this dead silence with voices, laughter and feelings. The Simon Community enables rough sleepers and the public to live together in a community. What you hear is the life of that community.
