New creative programme 'Odysseys' supports people living with neurological conditions and brain injury
People living with neurological conditions or brain injury are invited to take part in Odysseys, a friendly, creative programme designed to support wellbeing, confidence and connection through movement, art-making, storytelling and song.
Delivered in partnership with Art Shape, Odysseys offers a welcoming and inclusive space where participants can explore creativity, connect with others with similar experiences, and build confidence in a supportive group environment. No previous experience in art, movement or singing is needed, and the sessions are free to attend.
