Prescribed Art For Wellbeing

What We Do

Prescription Art Test Valley uses the power of art to support adults experiencing emotional and mental health challenges, including anxiety, low mood, bereavement, isolation and loneliness.

 

Our free, friendly art sessions provide a welcoming and supportive environment where people can explore their creativity, build confidence, develop friendships and improve their wellbeing - whatever their artistic experience or ability.

 

Taking Part

Our sessions are for adults in the Test Valley area. Access is through a referral from a local health centre. If you feel you or someone you know might benefit, please contact your local health centre to find out more.

​

New participants are initially invited to attend a six-week introductory course, with the opportunity to continue in our established follow-on groups.

​

Sessions take place at Jubilee Hall, Timsbury.

 

Supporting us

We are always pleased to hear from people who would like to volunteer and help make our sessions possible. Whether you can offer practical help, creative skills or simply a little of your time, your contribution would be very welcome.

 

We are a small independent charity, supported by donations, fundraising and grants. Every contribution helps us continue providing these valuable sessions.
