We will now be counting up and analysing the words, but this page will continue to remain open for the moment. If you find yourself on this page, your words are still welcome!

Chippenham's Chosen Words

Do you live, work, or shop or play in Chippenham, Wiltshire?

That's exactly what we would like to know. We are collecting

Chippenham's Chosen Words.

The words can be sad or joyful, precious, or inspiring, or even someone's name, but they are the ones we feel are the most important to us at this time.

You can also give reasons for picking your words.

You can take part as an individual, or as a household.

We hope you enjoy discussions with friends and family as you choose your words. You can only send your words in once, so choose carefully!

Thank you for taking part.

What happens to the words?

We will be collating Chippenham's Chosen Words to find out which of them are most important to the town at this time. Look out for a memento leaflet delivered to the town's households, announcing the most frequently chosen words. The results will feature on BBC Radio Wiltshire, and will also appear on the Call of the Page and One Chippenham websites.

There will be a final, comprehensive list of Chippenham's Chosen Words available for download. We hope you will be inspired to flick through, find your words in the list - and enjoy browsing through the others and some of the reasons given for choosing them.

Thank you for taking part.

Help spread word of the words!

If there's someone in Chippenham with whom you are in telephone contact,

with their permission you can fill in the online form for them.

Thank you for helping us reach people who are offline.

It's an important part of this project in isolated times!
