Community Interest Statement

The Community interest company’s activities will provide benefit to any person struggling with isolation, anxiety and lack of confidence within the Community of Ashfield & Mansfield.

Aimed at both Adults and Children, Well into Arts delivers creative group workshops to targeted sets of people struggling with low mood, anxiety and depression in the community.

Most courses are run over several weeks as well as ‘POP UP’ workshops within the local community bringing our services to where it is needed most.

Each targeted group takes part in a broad range of artistic and creative activities to inspire the group members to discover their creative side, giving them confidence that everyone is creative in some way.

Each week members are encouraged to complete a creative task that they can take home and be proud of.

With the use of Meditation and Mindfulness, we model calm and demonstrate how speaking out feelings can help to overcome issues, build community, combat loneliness and isolation, eventually leading to friendships, self-help / supporting groups, combatting isolation and loneliness. 

Workshops are usually for a 5-6-week period in length and run both in the day and evenings.

How will the activity benefit the community? 

In partnership with local artists, small business owners and creative practitioners, Well into Arts delivers creative arts related workshops, encompassing all areas of arts, with a strong emphasis on mindfulness, self-worth, talking therapy, relaxation, confidence building, learning of new skills and inspiration to help and encourage and support creative businesses within our community.

Well into Arts will be supporting targeted groups within the community who are struggling with mental health, anxiety and low mood.
