Creative classes for carers, Trust staff members and people living with long-term health conditions
Do you know a carer, a Northern Trust staff member or someone living with a long-term health condition who would enjoy a creative class to relax and meet others?
Causeway Coast and Glens Arts Services has announced a new programme of Creative Care workshops in March, for adult carers, people living with long-term health conditions, and staff from the Northern Health and Social Care Trust.
Delivered at the Flowerfield Arts Centre and at community venues across the borough, the programme is designed to make creative wellbeing opportunities accessible in a range of welcoming local settings, including Ballycastle and Garvagh.
These sessions offer participants the opportunity to relax, meet others, and enjoy a mindful, hands-on creative experience in an encouraging environment. Most workshops are free of charge, thanks to Trust support through its Arts & Wellbeing Strategy.
Courses for adult carers include yoga, paint your own mug and fused glass Easter eggs. Northern Health and Social Care Trust staff can enjoy a watercolour course while those with a long-term condition can try their hand at making a fused glass Easter egg or silk painting.
These creative workshops are designed to support wellbeing, foster connection, and offer a joyful, hands-on experience with art in a safe and encouraging setting.
Full details of the workshops available can be found on www.flowerfield.org/news-page and on the Flowerfield Arts Centre Social Media accounts (@flowerfieldarts).
Places are limited and early booking is recommended. Bookings can be made at Flowerfield Arts Centre Reception, by calling 028 7083 1400, or emailing [email protected]
