Over winter 2025–2026, a group of eight volunteers at Crossbones Graveyard took part in a journalling activity exploring community wellbeing. Guided by prompts inviting curiosity about the site through the senses and body awareness, journallers reflected individually on their volunteering sessions. Together, they have generated a body of community research, tracking their interactions with the site through time.

At the outset of the project in late October 2025, journallers received a pack containing tape, stickers, and a range of drawing and writing materials, along with a set of instructions, a grounding exercise, and six prompt cards.
