We’re looking forward to a September full of Creative Carers!
Arts for Health warmly welcomes family carers to join one of our wonderful new series of Creative Carers in Dunmanway, Castletownbere, Skibbereen, or Clonakilty. Creative Carers workshops are relaxed and friendly spaces that offer family carers the opportunity to take a moment for themselves, connect with others, and explore their own creativity.
These sessions are free, and no previous experience is needed. All materials will be provided. Upcoming dates below!
