Stronger Communities Manager, Naomi Martin Smith said: “Arts and crafts in our community centres help reduce isolation and loneliness by bringing people together to share, learn new skills, and spark hobbies that create lasting connections.”

“Joining our arts and crafts sessions is a great way to meet new people, feel part of the community, and try something creative. Whether you're learning a new skill or picking up an old hobby, it's a fun and welcoming space that helps reduce loneliness and build lasting connections.”
