Re-stART is a peer-to-peer art support group that helps many people in our community through creativity and painting. Our group can only thrive because of the dedication and commitment of our volunteers. We currently have 12 volunteers who help ensure that everything runs smoothly and that everyone who attends feels welcomed, supported, and valued.

Today, we would like to thank Bev and Gary, who faithfully serve in the kitchen every Monday. Week after week, they arrive with a smile, ready to provide endless cups of tea and coffee, along with a generous supply of biscuits and cake. Their warmth, kindness, and hospitality help create the welcoming atmosphere that makes Re-stART so special.

What may seem like a simple cup of tea or a friendly conversation can mean so much to someone who is struggling, feeling isolated, or simply in need of connection. Bev and Gary remind us that making a difference doesn't always require grand gestures—sometimes it's the small acts of kindness, carried out consistently and with love, that have the greatest impact.

At Re-stART, we are built around people who choose to serve others in practical ways. Every volunteer plays a part in creating a safe, supportive, and creative community where people can grow in confidence, build friendships, and find hope.

Thank you, Bev and Gary, for all that you do. Your kindness is helping to make our community a better place, one cup of tea and one smile at a time.

✨ A Beautiful Reminder from Restart Art Group ✨

Joanne, who leads the Restart art group, shared this powerful moment through her great-granddaughter Edith 💛

The activity was simple—each person made a handprint and then turned it into a picture. Joanne had done this with Edith the week before, but throughout the week she felt God speaking something deeper…

No matter what the world throws at us, or how it tries to shape us into something we’re not, God reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. He has called us by name.

That handprint—no matter how much you paint it, change it, or try to transform it—will always remain a hand.

Just like us. No matter how the world tries to redefine us, God’s truth remains the same. We are His creation, uniquely made, deeply loved, and known.

📖 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” — Psalm 139:14

Be encouraged today—you are exactly who God created you to be. 💫

Restart Group Short Testimony

Pat has been attending for several months now. She finds it very therapeutic and says it really helps to lift her mood. She didn’t realise how talented she was.

Many people come to Re-Start and do not realise that hidden inside of them is many talents and one of Pats talents is being able to produce exceptional paintings.

Many people also come along saying they cannot paint, but with the support of our wonderful class teachers, every person who attends leaves with a masterpiece in their hands. Not only that, they make new friends, enjoy being sociable, and share plenty of tea and coffee together.

Re-Start is open every Monday and Wednesday from 11:30am. If you would like to attend next week, please drop us a message — we would love to welcome you!

The great news is, it’s completely free.

✨ From Then to Now… Look What God Has Done ✨

Back in October 2023, Re-stART was just beginning — a small step of faith, a simple idea, and a heart to serve.

Now, as we run two days a week, we’re so thankful to say that over 100 people have walked through the doors of Re-stART. Even more special, some of those who joined us right at the very beginning are still coming every week. That kind of community is something truly special.

None of this would be possible without our incredible Re-stART team, who faithfully serve week in and week out. Your dedication, kindness, and heart for people make this what it is 💛

This Wednesday our class painting inspiration was the White Cliffs Of Dover

There’s something timeless about the White Cliffs of Dover. Their striking beauty, dramatic coastline, and rich history have inspired artists for generations.

This collection brings together a selection of paintings celebrating one of Britain’s most iconic landscapes.

From sweeping coastal views and peaceful waters to charming cottages and rolling countryside, each piece offers a unique interpretation of this remarkable location.

Our restart classes run on Mondays and Wednesdays and the books are open for more people to join our free painting sessions.

It's been a while since we've posted on our page, but we've been busy every week with our painting classes on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Here is a selection of some of the wonderful paintings created by people who attend our classes.

One of the things we love most about our painting classes is that many people arrive saying, "I can't paint" or "I'm not creative." Yet week after week, they surprise themselves by producing beautiful and unique pieces of artwork. We truly believe that everyone has creative potential, and our classes are designed to help bring that out in a relaxed, friendly, and encouraging environment.

Whether you've never picked up a paintbrush before or you're looking to develop your skills, we'd love to welcome you. Anyone can paint, and we'd love to help you discover the joy and confidence that comes from creating something with your own hands.

Our classes run every Monday and Wednesday from 11:00am to 1:30pm. We are currently welcoming new members, so if you'd like to join us, please click the link below for more information.

All of our sessions are free and we supply lots of tea,coffee, biscuits and cake.

The classes are held at The Corner, the glass building located on the corner of Moor Street and Uxbridge Street.

✨ Creative morning with the Restart Painting Group! ✨

These beautiful Christmas robin paintings were created by our members today. Aren’t they fantastic? Each piece has its own style and story.

Art is such a powerful way to relax, reconnect, and rediscover your confidence — and today was full of smiles, learning, and festive fun.

We are so proud of every single person who attended Restart today and created there own masterpiece

❄️☃️ A Festive Morning at Restart! ☃️❄️

Today had a little unexpected twist — our main teacher wasn’t able to be at Restart, but Steve stepped in brilliantly and led the session. Using YouTube tutorials as a guide, he helped everyone create their very own snowman masterpiece… and wow, what a beautiful collection we ended up with!

Each snowman painted today has its own personality — joyful, quirky, serene, cheeky — and that’s what makes them so special. Everyone’s creativity really shone through, and it was amazing to see how the same idea can blossom into so many unique expressions.

With Christmas getting closer, the room felt wonderfully festive. Between the snowy backgrounds, cosy scarves, and bright red mittens, you could almost feel the winter chill and hear the jingle bells! 🎄✨

It was a perfect way to ease into the Christmas spirit — peaceful painting, warm company, and a whole gallery of snowmen ready to welcome the season.

Lovely work, everyone — your snowmen are truly magical! ❄️❤️
