Arts & Crafts gallery
This group is the most warming, caring, considerate group I’ve ever attended.
The sessions were really useful in learning techniques to be more assertive and to learn more about overcoming negativity.
I really enjoyed working with beads to create a lizard. It’s a lovely change to have something to concentrate on and have the designated time to
focus.
