Books for Sale!
A book was produced as part of the People Making Things Happen project, including extracts from interviews and archive images. Edited and produced by Lucy Harrison and designed by Sandra Zellmer.
Wellbeing Wednesdays was a friendly social group at The Mill who looked at all aspects of wellbeing. The group collected their favourite, healthy recipes and published them in this pamphlet.
Small Change is a collection of wonderful poetry written by Christopher Cuninghame. Christopher was the Winner of the Urban Tree Festival 2021 writing competition and won the opportunity to create this limited edition chapbook.
Books can be purchased from The Mill for:
£4 each for People Making Things Happen

If you don’t want to buy, why not donate?
Eat or Heat is a charity that helps feed people that are struggling. In tough economic times more families are saying “I can either heat and light the house, but can’t feed the family too”.
The Mill accepts food donations on their behalf. Volunteers visit us regularly to collect donations and bring it to the food bank for distribution. Visit the eat or heat.org website for more information and their current donation priorities.
