Lost Connections began as a funded project, but developed into an entirely voluntary-run initiative, using creativity to explore connections within the Newport community that were lost during lockdown.

From conversations with families and communities in the local area, it became clear that creative activity could help tackle loneliness and isolation, and that it was important to create a visual time capsule of the past year.
