The workshop was really good fun and I could not recommend it enough.

Lead Nurse, Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital

I enjoyed learning new things about schools of art, ‘playing’ with collage, complete distraction from everyday stresses. It was perfect. I very much enjoyed the session and the facilitator was gentle, encouraging, reassuring and interesting.

Well-being Counselling Service Manager, Trafford General Hospital

After a stressful, busy, no stop day at work, and a stressful time in my life also, it was perfect to sit and do something I would never normally do, and to use my hands and a part of my brain that I miss using

Counsellor, St Mary’s Centre, SARC

It is a great thing you give to staff. You can lose yourself in the moment.

It was a safe space to be creative, I could relax without worrying that I wasn’t doing something right.
