Support Collective meetups
This is a welcoming space for disabled people, family carers and support workers of people with complex support needs to come together in person and via Zoom to share their experiences, ask questions and find out about latest resources and information. We also discuss practical solutions for coping day-to-day and supporting positive well-being.
Carer’s creative workshops:
Our next Carers Creative Workshop is on Wednesday 9 July, 12:00-15:30 at the De La Warr Pavilion
We will visit the forthcoming exhibitions, Allan Weber: My Order and Claudia Alarcón & Silät: Tayhin, enjoy a fun creative workshop in response to the exhibition and have a relaxed lunch together. These workshops provide opportunity to relax, get creative, and meet other parents and carers.
We are hugely grateful to Miguel and Maya from the Learning and Participation Team at DLWP for their continued support hosting and facilitating these invaluable workshops. We have explored cyanotype photography, collage, collaborative drawing, painting, modelling, making handmade postcards, and concertina books.
Carer’s workshops are relaxed, gentle, with no expectation. Take a moment to just be you without your caring commitments. Open to all parents, carers and support workers who usually care for an individual with complex support needs, we want to offer you the chance to engage in a creative day.
Spaces are limited to book yours please contactgeorgie@projectartworks.org.
