Another lovely morning at our Creative Connections Club! 🥰 We have the best chats (about anything and everything!) with our Yorkshire tea!

Louise is at in Pateley Bridge every Tuesday morning from 10am to 11:30am for our group - if you fancy a cuppa and a natter, come on down! We’ll have crafts to play about with but you’re very welcome if you just want to come for a brew and some company! 🫖 😊

Today we launched Just Create June - our 30-day creative wellbeing challenge in The Bloomin' Marvellous Self Love Club 🌸

Why?
Because creative activities are good for your body, mind and soul! And the more creative stuff we do, the better we feel!

Creativity doesn't just mean 'being good at art'...
It's singing in the kitchen with making a brew.
It's taking photographs on your phone.
It's baking a cake.
It's writing a poem.
It's dancing around the living room.
It's telling stories, making things, solving problems, expressing yourself and seeing the world a little differently.

So this month we're inviting our community to share one creative moment each day - no pressure, no perfection, just everyday creativity in all its forms. 💛

We can't wait to see what unfolds!

If you'd like to follow along or join in, come and join us in The Bloomin' Marvellous Self Love Club (our FREE Facebook group) 👇

Who's joining us for JUST CREATE JUNE? A prompt a day to remind us all to be creative... and reap the benefits!

As part of JUST CREATE JUNE, we’re interested in understanding - in a really simple, human way - whether taking part in small daily creative moments makes any difference to how people feel.

If you’d like to help us with this, we’re inviting a small number of people to complete a short wellbeing questionnaire at the start and end of the month.

✨ It’s completely optional
✨ It takes around 5 minutes
✨ Your responses are confidential & used only in anonymised form
✨ It helps us understand the impact of creative wellbeing work like this

If you’d like to take part, please message us directly or comment below and we’ll send you the link.

You are absolutely welcome in to take part in JUST CREATE JUNE whether you take part in the research or not - the challenge itself remains open, free, and for everyone! 🌼

Thank you for helping us understand the value of creativity and wellbeing in everyday life 💛

We’ve had some interest in our new 'Quiet Club' idea at Bloom and would love some feedback on what would work best for you.

Quiet Club would be a calm, low-pressure space where people can read, knit, colour, craft, journal, have a brew, or simply sit quietly in company.

We know lots of people enjoy company but not always busy, noisy or chatty environments. There would be no pressure to talk or join in - just a quiet and calm space to pause and recharge away from noise and screens.

We’re trying to decide:
☀️ Morning?
🌿 Afternoon?
🌙 Evening?

And whether people would prefer:
📅 Weekly?
🍂 Monthly?

Please comment below with what would suit you best 😊

🎉 BIG, EXCITING, NEW YEAR NEWS! 🎉

We’re over the moon to let you know we've received funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for our new project, Creative Connections: Creativity for Rural Mental Health! 💛

Thanks to National Lottery players, this funding will allow us to deliver regular creative wellbeing sessions for socially isolated people across rural Nidderdale, helping to reduce loneliness, improve mental health and wellbeing, and strengthen community connections through creativity, conversation and cuppas ☕🎨

Creative Connections will offer welcoming, inclusive creative spaces - including art, crafts, drama and music activities - hosted locally and shaped by the community. The project builds on the success of our Nidd Creative Wellbeing Project and responds directly to what local people have told us they want.

📅 The project will launch in March, and we’ll be sharing more details about sessions and how to get involved very soon!

A huge THANK YOU to National Lottery players, who raise over £30 million every week for good causes across the UK, making projects like this possible.
