Lifecraft is a user-led organisation for adults in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough who have experience of mental health difficulties. Lifecraft runs a weekly art group in Fulbourn and Cambridge where you can get creative in a supportive environment.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- producing artwork is a mindful activity that can help you relax;
- being creative can help you express yourself and discover new talents;
- you will meet new people in a friendly space, where there is no pressure to chat.
“Art is very joyful and relaxing. It helps you bring light into a dark room. I love art as it is fun and creative, but also we have a lot of laughs.”
