Art Sessions
The Bereaved
We work with a variety of specific groups from within the community such as the homeless, the bereaved, those suffering with Dementia, disabilities and deblilitating illnesses including mental health and stress issues. We also provide support for their carers.
Using creativity to help those participating to feel better and more comfortable within themselves, providing the opportunity to further develop and grow as they want to, within a supportive environment.
We have a partnership agreement with Compton Hospice’s Compassionate Communities to work with individuals who are endeavouring to come to terms with their grief. We have excellent feedback from this initiative. Currently referrals are by word of mouth, we do have partial sponsorship and are optimistic of additional funding, at his point we will promote publically.
