Ian Judson who runs the project keeps us updated.

Hi Everyone

Art & Minds still has a home in the village but in the last 12 months we have moved from our previous base on Bridge Street to our new premises across the road at 46 Bridge Street, which was previously the Barber’s shop next to the Post Office.

As before, we have transformed the old Barber’s shop into a creative and well-being studio which I hope everyone will come and see.

We still have the garage, workshop and community gardens to the rear of the new hub and they are still going strong since we opened them over 3 years ago.

As in previous years we are growing plants and these will be available to buy after Easter when they are ready. So come along and see what we have to offer.

Ruby Webb, who attends our project, has been producing lots of items showcasing her art skills and she donates them to the Barnardos and Ashgate charity shops in our village to help with their fundraising. Do come along and see her work and perhaps buy a piece of her artwork.

Everyone is welcome to come along and say hello. Our project continues to help so many people with their mental health and loneliness.

We are open to all ages and the friendship and support for each other is amazing.

So come along and say hello – perhaps you could learn a new skill or craft. Or, of course, you can come along as a volunteer. You will be made very welcome.

If you would like to visit our shop or would like more information about our project, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thank you.
