Creative Wellbeing Programme

Our Creative Wellbeing programme is an ongoing core programme, delivered throughout the year, with 2 hour sessions held weekly / fortnightly.

Delivered by local Art Facilitators, these sessions offer a range of creative activities to engage with. Attendees are also welcome to bring their own creative activities to the group. 

This is an informal drop-in group for those experiencing a diverse range of mental health issues.
The benefits of Creative Wellbeing include:

  • Increased social connections

  • Increased access to creative activities

  • Increased confidence and self-esteem

  • Increased resilience
