Wonderful Donation...
hArt has recently taken delivery of a fantastic collection of art materials. These were donated by the husband of the late Sarah Ray, who was a keen art enthusiast, with a particular skill and love for scrapbooking.
The donation was delivered by some of Sarah's scrapbooking friends, who wanted her wonderful tools and materials to go to good use.
A donation like this means so much. The art therapists, facilitators, volunteers and hArt's clients are most apreciative of this donation.
From them and all of us at hArt, thank you Sarah and your 'Scrapbooking friends'.


hArt would LOVE you to join our new 'Creative Community' group, on Facebook.
There's already some great things on there, including:
* All our latest blogs, which will sooth, inspire and motivate you to enjoy art and nature.
* An excellent video by Jackie at Atticus Arts, showing how happy childhood memories mean ANYONE can have a go at creative writing.
* Great advise from Andy Wright, Art therapist who works with hArt.
There'll be more content from us, and hopefully more content from you too!
We hope to see you there.
