More information
Fantastic Cards was started by a group of friends with lived experience of mental health who enjoy arts and crafts. With support from CPSL Mind’s Good Life Fund they set up this group as a way of helping improve wellbeing through creativity and togetherness. The group offers an opportunity for people to get out and about and socially interact with others, reducing social isolation and loneliness. It helps people engage in a meaningful and productive activity and learn new skills, which can increase confidence and self-esteem.
This activity is free to attend and you can go to as many of the groups as you wish.
