Writing for Wellbeing - Creative Community Café

Writing for Wellbeing!

Writer Penny Black from the Royal Literary Fund will guide you through listening to some short, themed poems that have been specially selected. She will then lead a gentle discussion of how the words feel and sound to you and offer some writing prompts to help you express yourself. There is absolutely no pressure, prep or homework. The sessions will allow space for you to discover your creative side – and they will also be fun!

Past participants say:

· When you’re struggling with mental health, it gives you confidence, a focus on both something outside your mind and a way to process what’s in your mind.

· I love the interaction within the group and being able to see other people’s perspectives. Finding confidence to write and express how I’m really feeling and being able to share with others.

You need no experience of writing or even reading - just come along!
