We've been working hard upskilling our volunteers to share their talents with you. We're launching our Friday Community Workshops, between 1300-1500, from September.

Two hours to learn something new and lose yourself in a rewarding creative practice.

Current course options include:

• Gilding
• French Polishing
• Introduction to Antique Restoration
• Bird Box Building

Leading up to Christmas we'll also be offering special themed workshops making festive decorations.

These are activities where you can lose yourself and forget your worries whilst creating finished pieces which you’ll be proud of.

We’re never too old to learn new things and creative activities are proven to boost your wellbeing and mental health.

Delivered in a safe and welcoming space, where the kettle’s always on, you’ll have fun and meet likeminded people who share your interests.

Engaging in the crafts and interaction within our  communities can help with major challenges, such as ageing and loneliness.

It can boost confidence and make us feel more valued.

Besides these benefits,  creative engagement also alleviates anxiety, depression and stress. 

Sharing your skills, and giving something back to your community, brings its own rewards and a wonderful sense of purpose.

This is all about community and enabling access to fun craft activities. We’d love to hear from you if your group would like to try something new.

PAY IT FORWARD!
