Mind Space Makers @ Mindspace, Stamford – APU Led session on the Last Thursday of each month (other sessions also run weekly) 2.45 – 4.30pm
The ‘Makers Group’ is an opportunity to come together to create and learn new skills and share knowledge and experience with others.
Making together provides a safe space for quiet conversation where thoughts, views and attitudes can be explored without confrontation. It is also a space to have some fun and take pleasure in what we are doing.
These sessions are particularly appropriate for those with additional needs.
