Mindful Moments

As part of the Threads of Time project, Mindful Moments brought a unique perspective to Clydebank’s story, combining creativity with lived experience to celebrate the town’s industrial heritage and the journeys of its people.

Mindful Moments support women who have faced isolation, mental health challenges or trauma. By engaging them in heritage and creative activities, Threads of Time offered a safe space to build confidence, learn new skills, and connect with community history. Their participation demonstrates how heritage projects can promote wellbeing and inclusion while preserving local stories.

Digital Storytelling - Family Origins

Three members shared deeply personal stories about how their families arrived in Clydebank, whether through wartime relocation, industrial employment opportunities, or migration for a better life. These reels explore:

The challenges of settling in a new town.
The pride in contributing to Clydebank’s industrial growth.
The sense of identity and belonging that has endured across generations.

These narratives add a human dimension to the Threads of Time project, connecting heritage with lived experience and ensuring these stories are not lost.

Digital Development Support

To bring these stories to life, the groups received specialist digital training and support, helping participants learn skills in research and IT and creating engaging social media content. With dedicated support they ensured that the video reels were not only creative but professionally presented, giving participants confidence in using digital tools and opening up new opportunities for future projects.

Working closely with textile artist Chloe Patience, young people explored Clydebank’s cultural heritage, gathering stories and visual motifs that represent the town’s identity. These ideas were transformed into a striking design that became the foundation for the bespoke fabric used throughout the project. This fabric symbolises Clydebank’s resilience and creativity, and Y Sort-It’s input ensured that the design reflected authentic community voices.
