A Past Times Event

We have been in partnership with Huddersfield University to develop an ‘Arch-Way Project Model’ with a PhD student from the university interviewing attendees and collating the data to then create a model so that other organisations can set up their own Past Times project. This will be recognised as an Arch-Way Project intervention where other organisations can look at the model and run their own event to help combat loneliness and isolation in their own communities, to further reduce the number of people who are isolated and in need of human contact and engagement.

Due to the ever-growing cost of living increases, we also started to promote the Past Times project as a ‘Warm Welcome’ space. ‘Warm Welcome’ is an initiative to connect people, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, to help support them and reconnect people, in a ‘warm space’, where people come to stay warm and access facilities that may not be available to them due to the cost-of-living increases. Rather than stay at home and pay extortionate prices to sit at home, they can come to the Arch-Way Project and use our facilities which helps them reduce their bills.
