Creative Time Together - 26th Feb

Service Description

Is your child currently not or part attending school? This 5-week course is a calm, friendly space for parents/carers and young people to be creative together. Each week we’ll explore simple art and craft activities using good-quality materials, in ways that feel different from school and free from pressure. There is no right or wrong way to take part, and nothing needs to be finished or judged. The focus is on gently getting out of the house and spending time together. Discover how creative time can feel calming and enjoyable as you build confidence through making things side by side. Our subsidised prices cover materials and refreshments for both of you. We know that starting a new course can be very difficult, if it would be helpful for you and your young person to come and see the space we will be working in to reduce anxiety we would be very happy to meet you on 12th February. Just email Abi thequarrychapel@gmail.com. The chapel offers small groups (our exercise classes have a max 8 participants and creative 10) in a supportive and caring environment; we always use lovely materials and tea/squash/snacks are available. We rely completely on grants and donations - we have two subsidised tiers, plus a chance for you to donate £12 towards the true cost of the course. If you can afford to do so it will enable us to support future classes and widen our work in the community. So far this year each class has been costing us an average of £19.56 per person to run - these costs are due to rise this term. The Quarry Chapel never wants anyone who would like to take part not to do so due to prohibitive costs. Please email Abi Nicol - Development Worker (thequarrychapel@gmail.com) to discuss our bursaries.
