WE NEED YOU – The project needs help from the members, and the more you get involved in our mini projects and help on a Thursday, the more it will help you. For instance, help is needed in the office – which could help boost your boost your self-esteem and lead to all sorts of opportunities. This could also help your CV’s and will not affect your benefits.
Dates of forthcoming events
Mosaic Project 2013
Members are once again working with Richard Langford – a sculptor from Crewkerne –participating in a ten week workshop to produce another mosaic – this time for the Chard Hospital entrance.
In the past, they’ve successfully produced two mosaics, one in Holly Court and the other in the entrance to the Chard Young People’s Centre itself.
Commissioned and funded by the Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and with a theme of “Chard and the Community”, members of the group visited Chard Museum for inspiration for their designs.
A golden opportunity for members to be creative, they’ll not only be working on this as a group project but it should allow them the chance to create a mini mosaic for themselves, further boosting their self-esteem.
