You put your right leg in…. Thanks to everyone who played #DriftBingo today at #GMMovingConference2025. We’re looking forward to seeing your postcards from the drift. 📸 Salford Quays May25 #GMMoving #Footwear #WalkingForWellbeing #CreativeCommunity #PureCuriosity #TheValeArts #ActiveLivesForAll
We had 15-20 play today, here we are huddled in a circle to show off our shoes, soon after this we did the hokey cokey to complete the ice warmer. I then dispatched everyone off in different directions with a bingo card of sensory cues and feelings, and asked that everyone sends us a postcard from the drift that would create a collaborative artwork for the event.
