We are pleased to have just successfully received funding for Shed INC, a new, creative, peer support workshop for residents who are experiencing a life changing diagnosis, complex health treatments, waiting for treatment or experiencing serious social anxiety.

​

Funded by The Community Chest for Social Prescribing Grants, aimed at delivering projects designed to address health inequalities, to enable capacity building and support social prescribing activities for the residents across Barking and Dagenham.

​

Shed INC will be a chance to talk, a creative outlet to share challenges and what helps; a small, safe group that is intuitive, nourishing and creative, challenging feelings of isolation and helping to improve recovery.

Shed INC
Saturday workshops 

​Each week we will explore different themes, exploring our own personal stories to create individual visual action plans:

 

  • Recognising what we can control and what we can't.

  • How we can manage our own health

  • Recognising our symptoms

  • Putting actions into place whether that is:

  1. Personal responses/ behaviours

  2. Reaching out for peer support

  3. Contacting your health practitioners
