Open to those facing serious or terminal illness, our Creative Arts for Wellbeing aim to support emotional wellbeing and aid self-esteem.
Group Sessions
Our Creative Arts for Wellbeing are small group sessions which encourage peer support. And offer a variety of creative art projects, either your own or a guided project. All basic art materials are provided.
These sessions are designed for enjoyment and relaxation. No artistic ability is required, just a willingness to ‘have a go’.
For those who wish to put their memories into words and/or images, we also offer the opportunity to work on creative ways to record memories. Through journal keeping and scrapbook making.

Creative Arts Workshops
As well as our group and independent Creative Arts for Wellbeing sessions we also have a range of workshops throughout the year. Like our Art of Remembering Workshop in October 2022 or our upcoming Stencilling Workshops in August 2023.
