At the end of the event we asked our audience of policy makers, NHS and ICS members, partners, supporters, funders, friends, family and members of the public, to show solidarity and support for our campaigns by raising their hands to form butterflies. We asked if they also believed that communities together can create long lasting change and transform our society, to join us in leaving the cocoon and become a butterfly with us.
"The symbol of the butterfly that members of Creating Ground have on is telling the story of our journey thus far. As the cocoon went through many unseen struggles lying upside down and eventually came out as a beautiful butterfly that can fly so also was Creating Ground during the covid lock down. As we were going through many different struggles and challenges with pieces of our puzzle, we gained strength. As our journey progresses in our struggle, it made us stronger, wiser and better. This strength gained under the leadership of Laura made us to fly and we shall continue to fly to fulfil our mandate and our passion for change. butterflies remind us that it is never too late to transform ourselves or the community."
