Will you help give voice and presence to people now absent from the everyday? 

I Would Be Here If I Could is a project enabling those living with M.E. and Long Covid to be seen and heard through a shared love, memory and experience of place. 

Your donation will be helping thousands of people to take part.

1,000+ messages from people living with M.E. and Long Covid
Over the project duration, we hope to receive over 1,000 messages for special places and spaces across the UK. Places that are loved but are often inaccessible for the people who would be there if they could.

100 locations across the UK
From beaches to shopping centres, ancient sites to football stadiums; we plan to tour the mirrorbox to 100 chosen message locations across the next two years.

This project is free for those leaving messages and visitors to experience. We need to raise significant funds to make it happen; anything you can give will make a difference.

• £100 could contribute towards messages: supporting participants, transcribing and uploading messages onto the digital map 
• £50 could help us create biodegradable QR codes to be placed at message locations where the mirrorbox has visited, allowing passersby to hear a message for a time after the mirrorbox has moved on.
• £20 could support postcards for a message location , so visitors can reply back to the person who has left the message (postcards will be posted through the project)

A gift of £2,500 or more will support the mirrorbox to reach a new message location. If you are interested in supporting a message location or region please get in touch.
