The Make a Mark CIC were recently awarded a grant from the Mary Hignett Bequest Fund to run an Arts for Wellbeing Project which comprises
* Four blocks of four-week arts for wellbeing courses delivered across 2016, for the people of Oswestry and the immediate surrounding area, to be held at the Willow Gallery.
* Courses will be targeted at people with stress, low mood and depression, anxiety, long term health conditions, caring responsibilities and those experiencing social isolation , through partnership work, referral and signposting with local statutory and voluntary agencies as well as general promotion.
* Each course will comprise four weeks, with each week exploring a different media. The focus will be on the process of art making rather than the aesthetic value of the end result.
* Each course will be led by an experienced arts and health practitioner who will incorporate evidence based methodologies such as mindfulness and the Five Ways to Wellbeing.
