🌿✨ We're proud to be involved in hosting workshops - which bring together the benefits of spending time in nature and the power of creative expression

Participants explored Halton's natural spaces and turned their experiences into written work to share with the wider community.

To inspire others to connect with the places around them ✍️🌱

The project was funded by the HBC Community Development Fund in collaboration with Cultivate Halton.

A brilliant reminder of the creativity, connection and wellbeing that can grow when we make space to explore, create and share 💚
