This is a series of pictograms we used during our latest social prescribing project. We were working with isolated young people on a mental health and wellbeing project across South Shropshire, one which we hope to repeat this year! https://t.co/bfFF8ynsLJ via @FacebookWatch
There are just 5 days left to support our Community Clay Club. This project has impacted over 50 Ludlow residents, led to new friendships being forged allowed people to come together in a safe, warm environment. https://t.co/EztS71Fiq5
This young man loved every second of his time in Community Clay Club. When we told him it had to finish (for the time being), he said: "But what will I do for my favourite time of the week? I love Clay Club! Please don't stop!" https://t.co/EztS71EKAx
Creativity and the arts are crucial to human development and good mental health. Please support our campaign to run another Community Clay Club. One of the participants said, "This is it. This is my two hours of sanity and peace for the week, right here!" https://t.co/EztS71EKAx
Please share this campaign with your friends and contacts. Community Clay Club was so popular and affected many lives, we would love to bring it back. If you can, please donate here and help us to help others.

Here's a few photos of our recent project working with children and young people on the NHS social prescribing with art initiative. Amazing work produced by some very talented young people! Workshops were online and materials were sent out prior to each workshop.
Here are a few finished products from our Community Clay Club participants. The man who made these had never used clay before, but ended up coming to every session and absolutely loving it! He made a series of sculptures for his garden. Beautiful, aren't they? #claymatters
Thanks to everyone who joined us for Easter for Community Clay Club, we had lots of fun making things with lots of pottery techniques.

Thanks to everyone that attended Community Clay Club at Ludlow Library on Friday afternoon. We had a great afternoon playing with clay, making pinch pot birds and creating textures and patterns with foraged flowers and leaves to create ceramic tiles.
Our next session is the 14th.
This week we have been in Highley Primary School with 30 teachers as part of their PD day! we made pots and tiles, pressed things into clay and they tried some new techniques. It was great to see these lovely teachers having a go with clay and great to see their responses!
We have some great news to share! We have just been selected to be part of the Ebay for Change programme for our clay products. The programme aims to highlight and support social enterprises like ours to sell online and develop their e-commerce platform.
Next week is Mental Health Awareness Week. The theme for this year is Loneliness, a very important topic especially in these times. https://t.co/Y7ogJkpOkJ...
