Friday, 11th September
1:00pm – 3:00pm
Cleeve Hill Golf Course, GL52 3PW

Join us for an adventure that’s all about connecting creativity and wellbeing! This is the first of four relaxed walks, perfect for meeting new people, enjoying fresh air, and connecting to nature and the special place that is Cleeve Common.
The walks will be run by our Community Engagement Officer Nicole and Amanda Steer a local artist and print maker. Together they will weave together their love and knowledge of nature, wildlife, art and the Common into the Five Ways of Wellbeing.
Each will follow a similar format and route but will have slightly different focus and activities each time. We recommend trying to come to all the walks, but if you can only make this one, that is great.

Wednesday, 15th July
12:45pm – 2:45pm
Isbourne Arts Centre, High Street, Winchcombe, Cheltenham GL54 5LJ

The course is designed to:

• Enable carers to take time for themselves
• Support social connection with others who share similar experiences
• Help build confidence through gaining new skills
• Ease frustration and help carers feel “heard”

Anyone aged 18+ in or around the town who provides regular, unpaid support to a loved one is invited to find some welcome distraction from daily challenges through having a go at a range of creative arts activities.

Each participant will also benefit from one-to-one chats with their Artist Faciltiator, Emma, who also has experience as an unpaid carer. She will support them to think about how they can stay creative, and stay well after the sessions have finished. Carers involved will also have access to resoruces, such as video tutorials and worksheets to help them stay creative at home.
New members are being invited to join this small, friendly and non-judgemental group and are encouraged to get in touch to discuss any worries about attending. The partners co-designing the offer are committed to working with participants to bring down barriers where possible. For example, there is a small budget to support reasonable transport costs and, if required, arts actviities can also be provided for those who are being cared for.

The group has been co-designed and is being piloted by partners:

• Artlift, a nationally-renowned charity that has been providing socially prescribed ‘Arts on Prescription’ services for almost 20 years
• Gloucestershire Carers Hub, who benefit unpaid carers throughout the county through information, supporting carers’ activities, Carers’ cafés, a buddy scheme and carers’ emergency scheme
• Isbourne Arts, a newly established performance, events and community hub serving the rural community in and around Winchcombe
• Cheltenham Peripheral Primary Care Network, a collaboration of five GP surgeries including Bishops Cleeve surgeries and Winchcombe Medical Practice

Participants can be referred by a health or voluntary sector professional, or they can put themselves forward just by filling in a simple form or calling Artlift.
If you’d like to find out more or to talk to Artlift about a potential referral, call 01 452 222726 or email artlift.referrals@nhs.net

Join us for our next adventure as we head out from the beautiful town of Winchcombe to explore some of the area’s hidden gems.

We’ll then head on to visit The Drover – the much-loved statue of a drover and his faithful dog – before completing a circular route back into Winchcombe.
