<div><strong>I AM BUILDING A WIND PHONE, AND I NEED YOUR HELP.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Jessica Dives and I am a musician, storyteller and creative based in Liverpool.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHAT IS A WIND PHONE?</strong>
</div>
<div>A Disconnected Phone line for users to call lost loved ones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHO IS IT FOR? </strong>
</div>
<div>You!
</div>
<div>The Community.
</div>
<div>Whether you live here permanently or are just travelling through... if you have need for the Wind Phone, then the Wind Phone is for you - a place to send words out to someone you have lost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHERE IS IT GOING TO BE? </strong>
</div>
<div>We are looking for a home for the Wind Phone! It is now built, and looking beautiful but we are looking for the perfect home for it - Somewhere protected, somewhere outside and somewhere private. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHY DO YOU NEED MONEY? </strong>
</div>
<div>The funds are going towards:
</div>
<div>Artists time; 
</div>
<div>building materials; 
</div>
<div>marketing costs; 
</div>
<div>releasing the song to accompany this project; 
</div>
<div>and holding the launch event; 
</div>
<div>Upkeep costs of maintaining the Wind Phone so it can continue to be available for people to use. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What about this launch event evening? </strong>
</div>
<div>We are holding a gig on the 22nd May at Lister Steps @ The Old Library. 
</div>
<div>This is with other local artists:Katie Nicholas, Danny Bradley &amp; Simon Dale. 
</div>
<div>The event will be an evening of Music to celebrate and honour Memory, Loss, love and Conversations we wish we could have. 
</div>
<div>22nd May - Lister Steps, Old Library, Liverpool. 
</div>

<div>_______________________________________________________
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A few years ago, I came across a short documentary buried deep in the pages of BBC news. This documentary shone a light on something in Japan called a Wind Phone: a disconnected phone booth, nestled in someone's back garden, available for those who wanted to come and call loved ones who had died. (you can find the original documentary <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-asia-48559139" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a> )
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was profoundly moved by this concept.
</div>
<div>As a songwriter, I ended up writing a song about The Wind Phone which I am looking forward to sharing with you all officially in the new year.
</div>
<div>As I started sharing this song at live events, I realised that others also found relief and comfort in to words and concept. The song has since won some songwriting awards but I believe this is only evidence of the profound universal power of grief and loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr_wIFZeNks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Listen Here</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It seems thousands around the world have also been moved by the concept because, since then, Wind Phones have popped up all over the world. You don't need to know much about them to agree that a place to dial a familiar telephone number again and imagine speaking to a lost loved one is a beautiful use of space.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can find all of the Wind Phones of the world here, at <a href="https://www.mywindphone.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.mywindphone.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.mywindphone.com/</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But as you can see:
</div>
<div>WE DON'T HAVE A WIND PHONE IN LIVERPOOL
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>So, I have decided to build a Wind Phone in the North West!</strong>
</div>
<div>I have created the unit from an old telephone chair, and commissioned a local artist to make it beautiful! It really is. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>COSTS INVOLVED</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For me this is more than just building the phone and placing it somewhere. This is an on-going community project.
</div>
<div>Grief has the power to connect us and form it's own kind of community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though I am doing my best to keep costs down, I am in need of financial help to implement the project to the quality and standard it deserves; and to pay the brilliant local artists involved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am looking to fund:
</div>
<ul>
<li>The cost of designing and making the Wind Phone.
</li>
<li>Designing, printing and distributing a Zine to be sold in The Reader and online, comprising local artists' poetry and writing on the subject of 'Words on The Wind'.
</li>
<li>An opening event for the Wind Phone.
</li>
<li>on-going creative writing workshops for the community, aimed at encouraging responsive and reflective writing as a way of coping with grief and loss.
</li>
<li>Funding the release of The Wind Phone song, to accompany and support this project and keep spreading the word.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>£1000 will fund...</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>The cost of materials for building the Wind Phone.
</li>
<li>The money to pay an artist to make the item bespoke and weather proof.
</li>
<li>Some upkeep as the phone settles in to it's new home. 
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>£2000 will fund...</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>The cost of materials for building the Wind Phone.
</li>
<li>The money to pay an artist to make the item bespoke and weather proof.
</li>
<li>A launch event to open The Wind Phone, working with the local community - raising awareness of the project.
</li>
<li>Marketing and press to get the word out!
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>£3000 will fund... </strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>The cost of materials for building the Wind Phone.
</li>

</li>
</ul>
<div><br />

</li>
<li>The production of a zine, compiling local people's words and poetry on grief, to be sold and ultimately raise money for Liverpool Bereavement Services and Support for those dealing with loss.
</li>
<li>Setting up a programme of workshops for the community to help dealing with loss and grief through creative practices.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any small (or big!) amount is welcome... I know that myself, those involved and any callers will be grateful for your part in making this project happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Best wishes,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
