A relaxed, welcoming creative group where people make art, unwind, and connect.

What it is

• Gentle, low‑pressure creative sessions using simple materials (pens, pencils, collage, paint, mixed media). Go at your own pace with optional prompts and guidance
• Friendly, small‑group vibe that’s about connection and enjoyment, not perfection
• Materials provided; you’re welcome to bring a current project

How it helps

• Supports mental wellbeing—creative focus can ease stress, lift mood, and build confidence and calm
• Regular social connection reduces loneliness and helps people feel part of something bigger
• Gentle cognitive and fine‑motor engagement can aid attention, memory, and healthy routines
• This is a wellbeing program, not therapy, and is designed to help prevent and manage everyday stress and low mood through supportive, enjoyable activity (aligned with our Health Promotion Charity focus)

Who it’s for

• Adults of all ages—beginners welcome
• Especially helpful if you’re seeking a friendly, low‑barrier way to build routine, confidence, and social connection (carers very welcome)
• How it runs
