Boosting well-being poetically! In 2008, we received funding from Leicestershire County Council’s Shire Grants, to run a pilot poetry project for people with severe and enduring mental health issues in Leicestershire. The project was based on similar workshops run via BrightSparks Arts in Mental Health Group in Leicester. Led by renowned poet and bright spark Lydia Towsey, sessions focused on improving creative writing techniques, enhancing performance skills and increasing confidence and self-esteem.
