⭐️Do you have Long Covid/ME/CFS and live in the Leeds Area?
⭐️re-stART is currently creating a waiting list, whilst we wait for news on pending grant applications. Would you like to be added to this waiting list?
⭐️We have delivered 10 week online Art Programs to 6 groups of Long Covid/ME/CFS sufferers in Leeds, over the past 3 years and now have a growing community art who meet online monthly. Our sessions are relaxing and mindful and participants build their own Art Journal/Sketchbooks. All materials, sketchbooks and tuition will be provided for the initial course free of charge and NO PREVIOUS ART SKILLS or experience are necessary.
To be eligible to apply for this art program, participants will be required to meet a set of criteria:
*Be diagnosed with Long Covid/ME/CFS or an energy-limiting chronic illness by a GP or Health Professional,
*Reside at an address in Leeds or West Yorkshire,
*Have access to Zoom through a laptop or tablet (unfortunately we are unable to provide technical support or lend ICT equipment at this time.)
⭐️To join our waiting list or find out more information, please send us a DM
⭐️This is the next phase of the Leeds Long Covid Art Project, which has been designed by our Founder & Director Jess Taylor (nee Dun) , who was diagnosed with Long Covid in February 2022. We hope that you enjoy reading the feedback that we have had from our previous programs. Feedback is important to us at re-stART and we therefore expect participants to be willing to provide quality, constructive feedback that we can use to demonstrate our impact on wellbeing. Finally and importantly, please note that these programs are not Art Therapy and should not be viewed as such. This is art for wellbeing and not a form of psychotherapy.
Please share with anyone living with an energy-limiting condition in Leeds/West Yorkshire who may not be on Instagram/FB.
Marketing is exhausting (right?) so please share across platforms too!
