Collaborators
Percy Hedley Foundation – ABLE 2
Design School – First Year Undergraduate Fashion students (and Andy Tennant )
METROCENTRE – Largest Retail Shopping Centre in Europe



Context:PHF – Was founded to support children with cerebral palsy
but now also supports children and adults with communication difficulties.
ABLE 2 is designed for adult service users some of whom are
residents – the majority though access day care
Project:
The brief that we eventually settled on, was for service - users to
work alongside the students to design garments that will eventually
be modelled by the service users at an open to the public fashion
show hosted by the Metrocentre in November.

However – of equal importance to PHF was the engagement of the
students and how their positive experience could be recorded and
used to persuade other external agencies to engage with the service
users
Student comments:
Thank you for such an amazing opportunity, I really enjoyed
the visit to the Percy Hedley foundation, and I'm really exited
to work on the project.

Before the visit I was unsure what to expect from the
foundation, or how to address and communicate with the
service users, if I'm honest, I was a little bit nervous in case I
accidentally came across as patronising or offended anybody.

I was particularly inspired by the idea of designing beautiful
items that fit with the needs of service users, as no designers
appear to consider these. I also found the artwork created by
the service users incredibly inspiring, especially their use of
bright colours.

After the visit, I am now incredibly exited to work on the
project, and collaborate with people with such a different
viewpoint and incredible ideas!
