Links to Thrive is a programme of free courses and taster workshops for adults offering creative activities, support and social connection delivered in venues across West Berkshire.

In collaboration with local GP surgeries and their Social Prescribers we are offering referral and self-referral places onto three new creative well-being courses.

Singing for Recovery: With a focus on well-being, this session will use vocal warm ups and singing techniques to promote relaxation as well as an opportunity to sing along to songs of all kinds. This class is suitable for anyone wanting to sing in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Art for Well-being: Learn new art techniques in a relaxed, friendly and sociable atmosphere under the guidance of professional artists and illustrators.

Creative Journaling: A chance to reflect and explore using mixed media, mindfulness and lots of creative fun techniques to produce a private journal just for you.

Craft and Care: With a focus on wellbeing these sessions will work through a variety of craft techniques offering new skills and an opportunity to share progress with others in a supportive and relaxed environment.
