Future Shed – Health & Wellbeing Network – Creativity, Arts and Making

Future Shed Fridays – A welcoming, weekly space to help bring green and healthy initiatives to fruition.

In this last Future Shed for the Health & Wellbeing Network in 2023, we are going to give some space to creativity as we head to the midwinter.

We’ve invited Amy Yates, an artist and community workshop leader, to run this session on Friday 1st December from 10am to 12 noon. Amy will provide materials and starting points for us to be creative and then we can make what we choose. All welcome – absolutely no artistic experience necessary. This is all about creativity as part of our well-being and taking time to make things.

Kerry-Ann Peachey is the cohost of the Health & Wellbeing Network with Future Shed. We invite anyone to come along. If you just want to sit and have a cup of tea rather than make anything, that’s fine too. Or maybe you want to just drop by and chat about future ideas and plans, or you want to introduce yourself – whatever!

Come to Edventure’s Welshmill Hub for a 10 am start – there’s a warm and friendly welcome

The Health & Wellbeing Network welcomes wellbeing practitioners and facilitators who are interested in how we can work together to address the health of ourselves and our planet, considering climate change and restoring balance.

We are a growing network of 40+ practitioners, wellbeing facilitators, health professionals and community connectors. You don’t need any specific skills, only the desire to grow a healthier greener community.

Future Shed is part of Green & Healthy Frome, a partnership programme of Edventure Frome, Frome Medical Practice and Frome Town Council taking action on health and climate funded by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund.

Future Shed is part of Edventure Frome.

Future Shed is about ideas and connections, collectives and enterprise – we are cooking up ideas and ventures to make real change around climate and wellbeing. This is a space to meet up, connect and build relationships to effect change. Come with your own idea, or join someone else’s. It doesn’t matter what stage you’re at, whether you’re already in the thick of a venture or just toying with an idea, or you’re passionate about making a difference but not sure where to start? Everyone’s welcome.
