OUR PROGRAMMES
We provide a range of individualised programmes to suit people wherever they may be in their well being journey.
Starting Point: Initially staff will discuss with the client their individual needs, interests and goals. Staff orientate new clients to the setting and will introduce them to other service users in the agreed timeslot. Staff will go through a health and safety induction.
Starting Skills and Confidence Development: Staff will support clients to gain confidence in their initial chosen activities.
Making Progress: Staff may provide regular workshops, to introduce or review art and craft skills and techniques, and then support clients to apply these new skills between workshops.
Self-driven and career oriented: Staff will liaise with clients in accessing resources and space to develop their new ideas and projects. Advice is available if clients wish to stage an exhibition of their work. Staff encourage clients to generate art works for their own online galleries and sales.
Exhibition Opportunities : Submission of art work is encouraged in local exhibition spaces to build confidence and gain external critique, as well as potentially generating sales.
