CREATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR COMMUNITY WELLBEING
NEST - First Time Flyers
We all need to survive. We all need to be a part of things, even in small ways. To have an element of control over our daily lives. Developing Natural Arts was originally established by myself in 1997 as a lottery funded pilot scheme to find ways to give people agency and improve their mental outlook via creative skills, in an area of outstanding rural deprivation. (SE Cornwall, Objective 1). I now wish to revive this successful project and start again in Plymouth. We will welcome at risk and vulnerable young people, care leavers, students, new parents and neuro-diverse people within these priority groups, to connect, de-stress and learn new skills. A sense of purpose and practical homemaking abilities are essential tools for living. Regular creative group sessions will offer peer support and positive experiences through collaborative production of functional home items, to use or sell. Textile and other creative practice can lead on into continuing further education and small business/cottage industry opportunities. Lonely and isolated people neglect themselves, their lives and their futures. I left home at 16 with no prospects or any support. I OD'd at 17. Let's help these 21st century fledgings develop a mutual self-help ethos that takes them to positive places!
