Dear All [with apologies for cross posting]
Welcome to the PETTATHON - the Planned Environment Therapy Trust's first
ever, exceptionally brief and unprecedented international attempt to
raise £50,000 during the month of October 2012!
http://pettrust.org.uk/welcome-to-pettathon
Over the next two weeks we'll be adding new material to the
pettrust.org.uk website every day to showcase the work and contributions
the Trust is making to the fields of therapeutic community, group
therapies and progressive/alternative/democratic education more broadly,
in the hope that people will be moved to make a donation which will help
us to continue apace.
Each day we'll have a new page on:
-'What's PETT ever done for me?'!,
- and another in 'PETT Showcase'.
- We'll be featuring 'Guest Blogs' from some of the many people who have
been involved with the Trust over the years, as well as trustees and
team members, addressing any concern, issue, insight or whatever is most
important to them at the moment (please feel free to contribute -
there's room for more than one a day).
- We'll also take the opportunity to share some of our 'Favourite
Photographs' from the past 23 years of the Archive and Study Centre, as
well as objects from the archives. We'll take requests.
New Features on Day 1:
"What has PETT ever done for me?" - Created websites and email
discussion groups
"PETT Showcase" - A digital story by Pat Mitchell of Wennington School
on 'Archive Weekends'
"Guest Blog" - A personal reflection on 'Rusty Staples' (not the famous
American baseball star) by project archivist Matt Naylor
"Favourite Photograph" - Professor Eric Broekaert and Stijn Vandevelde,
2003.
Please share the PETTATHON with your friends and family to help raise us
to raise awareness of the Trust's work and the work, needs and
possibilities of the field generally. And if you are touched by anything
yo see, please find a way to support our ongoing activity.
Thank you!
Craig and the team
