(www.windmillhillcityfarm.org.uk)14 of the original 18 people who joined are presenting their work on this website. We have respected the wishes of those who preferred not to exhibit their work, but their input was none the less essential to the success of the project.Windmill Hill City Farm has been able to fund this program as part of the national UKonline centre network (www.ukonlinecentres.com) and as a Social Impact Demonstrators Project. The AimsThe aim of this Make IT Yours project was to provide adults with mental health issues the opportunity to use photography and writing as a means of self expression through the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT). This has then opened up chances for learning about ICT related topics generally, such as: getting online; using email, web design; image editing; word processing; etc.The Project Themes:All participants were given the task of taking photographs and writing text under the following themes:1.

Favourite Object - most and least favourite object.5. Contentment - what makes you happy and sad?6. Time of Day favourite and worst time of day.
