“The Alan Fish Mosaic”

The Alan Fish Mosaic

A very special Mosaic has been unveiled at Smethwick Swimming Centre. Children from Mary Magdalene School and adults who attend Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council’s Day Services worked together this summer to design and create The Alan Fish Mosaic during Playtrain’s third intergenerational project.  The project was part of Sandwell’s Dignity Campaign, which aims to promote dignity in care and increase understanding between the generations.

The Alan Fish, which sits at the centre bottom of the mosaic was named after one of the adult members of the group, by the children, and reflects the deep respect the children hold for the adults.

One of the children said:

“Greatest memories ever, I’ll treasure them all my life!”
