Detailed description

We aim to raise awareness of mental health and reduce stigma while offering creative opportunities to those with lived experience of mental health challenges. We are starting a committee in early Feb 2025 to provide good governance to the community project and to help shape and develop it moving forward. We are looking for committee members; no long-term commitment is required, but an interest in mental health and creative opportunities would be advantageous. We will meet monthly in Letchworth to form the constitution, appoint roles, and work on project requirements. Over time, we will develop the opportunities we wish to offer across Hertfordshire in a creative way. Our main short-term aims are to offer a regular Zoom poetry group, a walk for wellbeing group, a creative newsletter, a poetry book, and an online website featuring creativity from service users. We may also consider an online creative magazine. We will meet regularly as a Committee and have a subgroup to further develop the project moving forwards. Anyone with an interest in this opportunity and who can attend the first meetings in Feb and March is encouraged to get in contact.
