Aim: We are keen to continue with our arts & craft workshops in the community to help reduce loneliness and promote wellbeing.
We have had the opportunity to pilot these workshops and they have proven to be very successful and a useful platform for people in the community to regain their confidence post Covid. Many have found the workshops to be a vital part of their recovery.
As a Community Programmes Manager along with my colleagues here at WSSW &, Battling On and TST, we have been surprised by the power of the workshops and how important these opportunities are for people who are lonely or who suffer from anxiety.
We have maintained to keep the sessions free to the participants where possible and ask just for a donation for refreshments.
The professional artists facilitating the sessions have mainly come from Drawn to the Valley collective and they have been amazing at providing different levels of art sessions and will no doubt continue to do so should we be successful in this bid.
The workshops take place in Torpoint, Saltash, Liskeard, Callington, Launceston & Bude. Please help us continue with this vital work. Thank you.
