As part of our Creative Wellbeing focus, we provide activities under the categories of Arts and Craft, Music, Performance/Drama and Creative Writing. Activities are provided in a supported environment to help improve confidence and self-esteem, working with each individual towards their recovery and improved overall wellbeing.
We are looking for volunteers to assist in the preparation of activities and to inspire and encourage client participation.
