SleevesRolledUp: Community Resilience Stories, HeidelbergWest Industrial Estate - The Book

This project will showcase the overlooked Heidelberg West industrial estate community and it's resilience, diversity, and contribution to the local economy through the stories of those working there. A series of interviews and photographs will be undertaken and compiled into a published book celebrating the working life, activity, and insights from the industrial estate community. The book, and photographic exhibition, will capture the industrial estate's importance to individuals, the economy, and local residents, and be used to promote Men's Health through the Banyule Community Health Service. The book will tackle themes of work, activity, community, challenges, health, hope, and well-being.

Community benefit arising from this project is 4-fold:
1. Highlighting the depth of estate activity as a source of pride and wider interest.
2. Promoting the current business and residential community.
3. Providing important messages/narratives of participation, resilience, and community well-being.
