New 12 week Course: Arts on Prescription in Cambridge

About the Programme: 
Our "Arts on Prescription" programme is a friendly and inclusive 12-week course for adults experiencing mild to moderate mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or stress. Participants, guided by a professional artist and a qualified counsellor, will explore various art materials in weekly workshops — no previous arts experience is required!
 

We ask people to commit to the full 12 weeks, this is not a drop in course.

Details of the New "Arts on Prescription" Course:
 
Location: Central Cambridge
Eligibility: For participants living in one of the Cambridge City Wards
How to Join: By referral only - ask your healthcare provider if you are interested in joining. 
Dates: From 8 October to 14 January
Duration: 12 weeks
Special Highlight: Our cultural partner for this course is Murray Edwards College, where we will have the opportunity to visit the Women's Art Collection.

We ask for a £60 donation from Participants (£5 per session). However, we never wish cost to be a barrier to participation so if you have any concerns please get in touch.
