What to expect?
Arts and Minds are a small, friendly and welcoming team who will support you in registering for one of their arts-based programmes.
They offer several programmes in Cambridge:
- face-to-face Arts on Prescription programmes that run for 12 weeks, facilitated by a skilled artist and an experienced counsellor. Carers may attend and join in, should they wish. Arts materials are provided;
- a weekly Pottery Group, a safe, social and supportive space which is open to all, particularly those experiencing anxiety, depression or loneliness.
- a bi-monthly Creative Café at the Junction, an informal, friendly drop-in café open to people of all ages. They particularly welcome those who may be experiencing anxiety, depression or loneliness to feel more connected with their community;
- a monthly Art Adventure programme, where participants explore different venues in Cambridge and use them as inspiration to create art together. It is not a facilitated workshop, but a chance to draw, sketch, relax and take in your surroundings with a group of likeminded people.
