Your Space
Expressing yourself creatively can be very therapeutic and rewarding in relation to helping improve mental health and wellbeing.
SpeakUpCIC provides the opportunity for members to participate in our peer support groups and activities such as the Art & Craft and Creative Writing Groups. Via these groups, members produce a wide and varied range of art and craft work, poetry, prose and short stories.
Your Space provides the opportunity for members to share their creativity with others. Even if members are unable to participate in groups, there are still opportunities to be involved - such as writing pieces for the annual Newsletter or sharing photos of art and crafts on our Facebook groups.
If you have anything you would like to share with others, please forward to Maggie or Kay.

Alone sat a star,
in a universe of dreams.
Waiting to be discovered
she sat and waited.
Along came an astronomer,
and named her one day.
Now the world knows her
and she watches with glee.
“When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”
