Pottery for those with neurological conditions and their carers, a weekly session in Cambridge allows attendees to show ability and enjoy success within a safe and social setting, experience handling clay and be guided and supported to make objects which will then be glazed and professionally fired.

Creative Café at the Junction (bi-monthly) - an informal, friendly drop-in cafe. The cafe is open to people of all ages and we particularly welcome those who may be experiencing anxiety, depression or loneliness to feel more connected with their community.
Arts and Minds ask for contributions from participants on all of their programmes. However, they do not wish finance to present a barrier to you participating. Therefore, they are always happy to discuss / waive contributions where appropriate.
