Exciting News: “Look Around the Garden” Blossoms with £20K Lottery Funding!

🌿 Big News! We’ve Received Lottery Funding for Look Around the Garden! 🌿

2026 and 2027

We’re absolutely bursting with excitement to share some wonderful news — Art for Wellness CIC has been awarded £20,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund (@TNLCommunityFund) to deliver our next major community project: Look Around the Garden! 🌸✨

This new programme will run throughout 2026 and 2027, bringing creative, nature-inspired workshops to adults across Penistone and Barnsley. It’s all about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and nurturing wellbeing through art and community connection.

Thanks to the amazing people who play the National Lottery, we’ll be able to offer more opportunities for adults to take part in creative sessions that reduce stress, build confidence, and spark joy — especially for those who may be feeling isolated or in need of a wellbeing boost. 💚

We’ve seen how creativity can help people breathe, connect, and grow — just like a garden in spring — and we can’t wait to get started planting the seeds for this next phase of our work.

🌱 We’re planning, dreaming, and preparing right now… so keep your eyes peeled for updates, opportunities to get involved, and some behind-the-scenes glimpses as Look Around the Garden begins to bloom.

✨ Watch this space — exciting things are coming! ✨
