Please find enclosed a copy of the latest STEP ON groups
that are taking place all over Birmingham.
We are working really hard with local libraries and Warm Spaces venues to sustain these groups over this year. They support over 280-300 people weekly and are growing every week. These workshops are not just another art group but provide subtle and accessible mental health support through arts and crafts, including mindfulness, reflection and specific activities suitable for many conditions such as isolation, anxiety, ADHD etc and new for 2024, coaching advocacy to support mental health and wellbeing at low level and at local level. Plus, there is the back up arts therapies clinical department should anyone from the community need professional accessible arts therapies intervention.
We have been able to run these thanks to a collection of community fundraising, small grants and some of the lovely NNS’ we have/ are working with currently, so if you would be interested in talking to us about working with your groups or local libraries then we would love to hear from you.
Please do circulate to your networks as these groups are open to everyone!
