I would be here if I could - Alison Larkman

Come with us on a journey... the journey of a human-sized mirrorbox which is taking messages from people living with ME and Long Covid to the places they love but can no longer get to.

Visitors can step inside this incredible structure and listen to a message from the person who has chosen that particular place - the person who can't be there because life-limiting symptoms often leave them housebound, bedbound, or cut off from the life they once lived.

If you do step inside the box and hear the message, you're invited to write a postcard back to the person who recorded it - the person who loves that place but can no longer visit it.

It's a brilliant act of connection.

Artist Alison Larkman came up with the idea. She has ME and Jenna has been chatting with her about 'I would be here if I could', how it all started for her and about the mirrorbox visit to Glastonbury Tor on June 18th.

Take a listen by pressing play below:

Volunteers are needed to help carry parts of the installation up the Tor on June 18th. If you'd like to help, please contact the project here:

Also, Alison has mentioned it would be lovely to have a procession up the Tor. If you'd like to be part of it then the bottom of the Tor at 9am on June 18th is the place to be.
