Creative Life
Along with other aspects of our members' lives we nurture their creativity by offering therapeutic classes in a range of disciplines including art, drama, poetry and pottery.
Our members tell us that they find these classes stimulating, fulfilling and help them to make new friends. We aim to help them to build confidence in what they can achieve and how they can express themselves.
I love working with the SWALLOW members every Tuesday. Everyone is so enthusiastic and full of ideas of creative projects they would like to try.

Drama is a fairly recent addition to the creative courses on offer but it is already an important part of the week for many members. After a warm up session Geraldine our drama therapist leads the group in different exercises and techniques using drama and movement to aid expression.
The group has worked on how to handle intimidating situations and recreate times when they have felt threatened. This has enabled some people to learn new skills and approaches to help them avoid conflicts in the future.
