A Christmas Wish - Victoria Walker

Diary Entry April 2020 

'I dropped off some groceries for my parents today. Sat in the car, I picked up my phone to let them know I was outside with ‘the goods’. A quick scroll through my contacts and there they are, under ‘Home’. I’m 34 and haven’t lived with my parents for a long time, but Mum and Dad will always be ‘Home’ in my phone. It struck me this is a big reason why we’re all feeling so lost at the moment. We might be stuck indoors, but home is more than your house; it’s a feeling you get from the people you love, a shared sense of meaning that just feels a little off balance and kind of floaty without the usual physical contact. But we won’t be floating forever, and I know there’s going to be so many big hugs (and big roast dinners) when all this is over.'

In support of those enduring the pandemic without the safety and comfort of a home or even shelter, a percentage of the proceeds from this exhibition will be donated to Shelter England.
