During Autumn 2011, local community artist Nicki Smith worked with different age groups in the Burneside community at a series of project workshops.
Nicki initially discussed the impact of flooding in Cumbria with the Burneside and Skelsmergh Mothers Union who meet at St Oswalds Church.
She explained about her visit to Isel Mothers Union near Cockermouth and how their members had told of how they had coped when their community and their church had badly flooded in 2009.

The Burneside and Skelsmergh group also considered how they could engage with the KWoA Watermark activities in their village. The older community members were keen to support childrens workshops at the local primary school, host their own community art workshop at St Oswalds Church and keep everyone updated about project progress.
