Overview

ECCIC runs local creative wellbeing workshops that support mental health, social connection, and personal growth. Our sessions are for individuals and families who face barriers to taking part, including low-income households, vulnerable adults, children and young people, people with disabilities, unpaid carers, those with long-term health conditions, and people experiencing social isolation or financial hardship. We provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive space, using creative arts to boost emotional well-being and community connection.
