Between 2025 and 2027 we’ll be delivering an innovative creative health project designed to support wellbeing and improve career opportunities for young women in Calderdale.

Through Bloom, young women will receive hands-on experience in creative health careers while also developing the tools to maintain and manage their wellbeing throughout their personal and professional life.

Wellbeing at the weekend was designed to support people through difficult times during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Every week for 28 weeks we shared step by step instructions covering a range of creative wellbeing activities which can be completed using materials typically found around the home.

Access these resources for free here.
