We run regular workshops for St Mary’s Hospice, Barrow- Creative Pause on Monday afternoons and in Ulverston Friday afternoons. We have continued to work with a range of community, school and third sector groups including, Furness Multicultural Community Forum, DropZone Education Group, DropZone Youth Groups:, Women’s Community Matters, Barrow Deaf Club, Carers Support Furness (Young Carers), Greengate School, George Romney, Brisbane Park School, St Georges School, Dock Museum, BAE, Barrow Bid, Westmorland and Furness Family Hub, Health and Wellbeing Coaches Art Group.
