I am Gemma and I look forward to starting the peer support programme of activities to help cultivate personal creative development with ongoing 
personal projects. The creativity lead structure will enable participants to gain confidence in the environment where they are all valued, this will aid as a prevention as well as recovery for many in the wider community suffering from mental health.
Our focus will be better mental health through creativity and mindfulness. Building relationships with one another, networking, sharing resources, skills, ideas, community integration and to build resilience within the group to embed lifelong coping strategies and resources to maintain well-being and good mental health on an ongoing basis. Encourage others to benefit and develop from regular creative practice alongside some mindfulness, to gain support, friendship networking, well-being, health, gaining confidence and generally finding meaning again.
