Meet-up

This creative session is delivered by Louise. It takes place in the Sadler Room at Cooper Gallery in the centre of Barnsley. Louise delivers a varied programme of creative activities that include art, creative writing, photography, recording and creative food making! The session has a well established, safe and accepting environment that promotes individuality and creativity. These sessions sometimes have visitor organisations leading activities; recently the group worked on an extended project curating an exhibition with staff from Cooper Gallery and have plans to work on a music focussed project Mozart and Me in the coming months.

This weekly sessions is for members that like a quieter session. It is a chance to to bring along a hobby activity to enjoy (such as painting, making, writing) or play a board game. The session is a chance to spend some quiet social time together with others.

Outings and Trips

On a regular basis, and especially during the summer months the group go on outings and trips. The destinations are decided upon collectively by group members and reflect their varied interests. Past trips have included: the snooker hall, mini-golf, museums, cinema, theatre, gigs, country parks and coach trips to York and Hull. The outings are a great way for members to explore and share their interests with one another and to visit new places. The group members usually travel to the venues together on public transport. The trips and outings are organised and supported by Louise.
