Next week it’s pine cone gonks! Come and join us on Friday afternoons, 1pm. All materials provided and free of charge

🍃 Some recent feedback from one of our Park Project attendees who has had a lot of recent life challenges and really needed some support and to find coping mechanisms.

🍀 "I really am enjoying it, I can't thank you guys enough! I'd never have thought I'd ever enjoy anything remotely crafty but the therapy I've found in doing it is amazing, I'm so grateful to you Many Hands ladies!xx"

🌾 These sessions are held on Tuesdays (12.30 - 2.30) and Wednesdays (11.30 - 1.30). They are fully funded by Bradford Council, and come with a free journaling pack to get you started!

Something new!

Join us on Friday afternoons in the run up to Christmas for fabulous festive crafting. Heidi will show you how to make a different Yule themed craft every week - there’ll be tinsel, baubles, reindeer, Santa (not the real one ‘cos he’s a bit busy), and lots of fun and good cheer.

No need to book, drop us a message if you’d like to come along or just turn up. Workshops usually last a couple of hours but we won’t rush you….

Oh I’m loving the art being created in our Project Park! Techniques include block printing, creating our own stamps, paper collage and bubble wrap painting. Moving towards mixed media art for our nature based journals.

🍃 FREE sessions held in Silsden Park! Foraging, journaling and open and honest discussions about mental health, how it affects us and how we can cope with this.

- do you feel stress affects you daily?
- do you feel you need some support?
- would you like to learn new techniques for coping with stress and anxiety?
If yes to any of the above then these sessions are for you!

🍀 Spaces filling fast so please don't hesitate to contact us and book on!

🌿 A bit of feedback from our last mental health journaling course;
🩷"I feel that I have come away with tools to help me look after mental health and the feeling that I can bring about change"
💜"I have loved attending the course. I think we were very lucky to be part of it and also the packs given out were fantastic"
🩵"I thoroughly enjoyed it and it definitely helped lift my mood"
💚"The staff were all very caring and compassionate. The course helped me realise that I am not the only one suffering and there are lots of people out there who can offer help and advice"
💛"After completing the course I feel like I am on the first steps to taking charge of my life and my health. Thankyou, you have no idea how much you have helped"
🧡"Thank you to the lovely ladies of Many Hands who took the challenge on board, I am grateful for the invite to have been part of such a positive experience"

🌱 The sessions are NOT about being an artist, being able to draw, or having any previous creativity interest! They are about exploring and expressing about you, and learning and playing with new techniques.
Come and have a go!!
