Free Creative Arts Projects – supporting people with the impacts of the pandemic
Warwickshire county council and partners are offering free creative arts projects to support people who may be particularly susceptible to the negative social and emotional impacts of this pandemic.
The projects are designed to help make people smile and maybe to find a new hobby whilst isolated. They are aimed at encouraging participants to try something creative during this pandemic to help look after their mental health.
We hope to reach a range of different groups of people online and offline, including those who are isolated, face specific challenges such as living with dementia or autism, or are struggling with mental health difficulties.
If you interested in joining any of the brilliant FREE activities listed below, find out more or book your place, get in touch! Just call on the number shown at the bottom.
