Call on Bedford to share their lockdown experiences
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Higgins Bedford is asking people to share how they are spending the lockdown - whether it's at home or in the workplace.
Are you keeping a journal, taking photographs of your daily exercise, posting to social media? Are you running a business to support people day to day, or creating a rainbow artwork for your front windows? Or have you volunteered to be part of a community initiative to support those self-isolating? Are perhaps you a key worker facing the busiest time of your working life?

If so, The Higgins wants to hear from you as it is recording people's experiences for future generations when they look back at this historic event.
If you have a story, photographs, video, poetry, letters, journals, artworks, objects or other contribution related to your own response to the Covid19 crisis, email Lydia Saul, keeper of social history at The Higgins Bedford at [email protected] for further information.
Councillor Doug McMurdo, portfolio holder for leisure & culture, said: "These are unprecedented and very challenging times. Despite this many inspiring stories are being created.
"At the Higgins Bedford we want to capture these stories and all the good things happening, whilst acknowledging these are also overshadowed by sadder matters. These stories will then form an important part of our social history, there for us all and future generations to look back on.
“Thank you in advance for your help, our priority at the moment is for everyone to stay home, stay safe and stay well.”
