People First Forum - Coronavirus Diary by People First Forum

My Diary

of the Coronavirus 2020.

History We are all part of history. We are living through the coronavirus.

We are all living through something that people in the future will want to know about. Children might even learn about it at school.

They might want to know:

● How people were feeling ● What people did to keep busy ● What it was like to get food This diary can help you to write these things down.

For The Record At People First Forum we have a project called For The Record.

For The Record is recording the history of people with learning disabilities in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

As part of this project we want to record what it was like to live through the coronavirus.

Once you have filled in this diary, if you return it to us, we can record your memories.

These diaries will be given to the Dorset History Centre for people in the future to be able to read.

If you would like to take part in this, please send your completed diary to:

People First Forum, The Bridge, Chaseside, Bournemouth, BH7 7DX

If you do not want to send it back to us, that is ok. You can still use this diary to help you write down how you are feeling.
