TRANSCRIPT
Dear Learner,
Welcome to a rather slimmed down version of Keeping Connected. The team here are taking some
time to have their annual holiday so we won’t be sending out the next Keeping Connected for 2
weeks. We may be taking a break but that does not mean we are not working hard!
In August we will be launching a brand new website that brings Calderdale and Kirklees Recovery
Colleges together. In light of this you will notice a change in our name to Calderdale and Kirklees
Recovery and Wellbeing College. You may have already spotted a change to our Facebook page
which I would strongly encourage you to visit for information and conversation. You can also join
our Crafty Crew Group there for sharing ideas and top tips around art and craft activities.
I hope you also can take a break from the daily grind and same old -same old, even if it is just for
an hour; a day; a week. Stopping the usual pattern of your thinking and filling up your mind with
new and different experiences and senses is of great benefit to your wellbeing. Stay safe and well
and read on.
Matt Ellis, Principal 31 July 2020

Come and say hello!
Give……. a few words
You may recall at the beginning of
lockdown we featured an article
about the art of letter writing.
This came about following a request from
Volunteering Kirklees for us to get involved with a
new scheme to help alleviate isolation and loneliness
by writing to residents in a local care home.
This project has been so successful with people
Nationwide getting involved and other individuals
in the wider community being able to ask to receive
correspondence. For more information of how to get
involved please visit a new dedicated website for the
project at: www.thegive.co.uk
Keeping Connected: with the easing of restrictions and the
holiday season upon us we have decided to make this newsletter a
fortnightly publication. We love producing it, hearing your stories and
receiving your positive comments so please feel free to contribute to
future editions and share your views!

Movie Night! Russel, Fab Facilitator of The
Golden Age of Hollywood Course has another
classic film recommendation for us. So get
the popcorn ready, sit back and
enjoy the show……
Double Indemnity (1944) Starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck & Edward G Robinson
“I killed him for the money – and for a woman. I didn’t get the money. And I didn’t get the woman.” So runs the opening line of this fascinating movie....
Told in flashback by Walter Neff (MacMurray) we learn that he is snared by Phyllis into an affair and talked into an insurance scam to murder her husband. Once carried out.....the question is who will be the next victim? And will Edward G Robinson as an Insurance Investigator discover who the murderer is?
Culture Club…… here is a classic from
Emily Dickinson, one of her most famous
and most loved poems. Enjoy.
“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.
