arts wellbeing

The Power House Poole ran an Arts Wellbeing Project in Hamworthy for 20 carers between November 2020 and April 2021. The project ran over 10 weeks (online and in person) and was designed for carers and those struggling with stress, anxiety and low mood during the Covid crisis. Rachel Huggett introduced techniques to help explore creativity, boost relaxation and wellbeing. Some of the activities included mindfulness, mindful movement, breathing exercises and playful art. We are now extending the Arts Wellbeing programme. If you would like to donate directly to this project, please visit The Good Exchange.

With thanks to The Good Exchange, the Dorset Community Foundation, HM Government and The National Lottery Community Fund for helping to fund this project.
