Arty Ladies
A continuation of the successful health and wellbeing project, Creswell Gets More Creative, with participants now taking the initiative to plan their workshops with support from Junction Arts.
The project was launched in 2019, to combat loneliness and isolation by bringing older people together to get creative. Those taking part have recognised the value of being involved, they enjoy the benefits to their mental health by coming together regularly, sharing their life stories, making friends and offering support when times are hard and now they want to share these benefits with others.
Arty Ladies is funded by the Bolsover Health & Wellbeing Grant and supports the 5 Ways to Wellbeing initiative. By attending the sessions participants will connect with each other, they will take notice of each other and learn new skills. They will also give to each other and the project by sitting on the steering group, delivering workshops or helping to set up, make drinks and tidy up at the end.
