TWTC this week visited St Thomas’ primary school in Neilston as part of our HLF funded project ‘Living History and Beyond’. We took the children out on a journey through time and around their town, out to the fields above the old mill building.  The walk was great fun and the weather was glorious.

After the walk we hosted workshops comparing Neilstons past with Neilstons present and recording the voices of the children as they expressed their thoughts on Neilstons future.  This work will now be fed back through the Neilston development trust to the architects and co-ordinators of the Renaissance town project. Our work here is creating a fun focussed forum to record the youth voice and give future generations a say in the current development of the town.
