What people are saying
“This workshop is my anti depressant every Wednesday”
“I can’t believe I am making something so beautiful that’s mine and that I can take home with me”
“I love being able to come here and feel like I am doing something productive”
“I’ve done some really good work today and I am so proud of myself”
“This work makes me feel so relaxed”
“Whenever I participate in one of the projects run by Stars and Stitches gives me a reason to get up in the morning as I would say that if I commit myself to a project I always try and see it through. Even though the session may only be once a week and for a few hours, it greatly assists with my mental health, as I look forward to this one session. Whilst there I can forget about my problems, have a cup of coffee and a chat with people fro different backgrounds, and those who have different problems. But when I go home at least for a couple of days I feel a lot better mentally. They also provide a safe environment where I don’t feel so vulnerable.
