Longterm relationships and a sense of belonging were developed through the co-creation of four new sculptures in the landscape at National Trust Croome. The outdoor artworks respond to the site and the themes of the Four Seasons as interpreted by four groups; looked after children, prisoners at HMP Hewell, women receiving wellbeing support and local volunteers.

The resulting sculptures were installed at Croome in July 2025 and will be in place for 10 years, acknowledging the value of diverse perspectives in heritage settings. More details from the project can be seen on the National Trust Croome website.
