VETERANS WITH THE COMMUNITY 

We have created a flexible project within a safe and open environment for isolated and lonely Veterans, current Service Members, their families, and carers to engage with art and express themselves through creativity. Our aim is to encourage them to use their ‘voice’ to express emotions, release stress, and ground themselves through painting, drawing, sculpture and creative writing throughout West Wales. This has encouraged families who have relocated to the area to integrate into the local community. We provide these individuals with the support and help to establish new, valuable connections and friendships. Offering a variety of methods to express themselves has made the platform more approachable for those who may be isolated and suffering with their physical or mental health. We offer a range of programs that give the individuals an opportunity to take part and engage through different mediums.
