Booking in advance is essential.

Our Connections group is for young adults to come together to explore creative arts in a safe and welcoming space. Sessions include activities such as song writing, spoken word, drama, graffiti arts and filmmaking as a means to combat loneliness, anxiety and poor mental health, helping young people to develop improved emotional resilience whilst building skills and aspirations.

Youth led, the project is facilitated by youth arts workers who have a wealth of experience working with young people with a range of needs alongside training in Mental Health First Aid, ASIST Applied Suicide Intervention Training, Prevent and Safeguarding undertaken with statutoryand/or accredited training providers.
