Dundee Creative Well-Being Skill Share
Creative Well-Being Dundee has developed activities and workshops around the four strands that support mental health and well-being. All the workshops and group activities are led by women and centred around women’s needs. We have regular clients all from mixed backgrounds who are enjoying the safe space we have created for them.
On this page we tell you about some of the things that we have done in our sessions.
Skill Share
Sewing, Crocheting, Knitting
We have delivered our own service user sewing, crocheting and knitting activities across weekly sessions. Not only is it beneficial to the ladies being taught new skills but it also encourages our service user to think about ways to make it her own business and give back to the community.
Henna Workshops
A service user has delivered Henna workshops. She was pleased at the opportunity and support presented to her by Amina. The sessions put her services on the map within the community, and she felt appreciated and valued.
Tapestry Sessions
In 2023 in partnership with Dundee Tapestry, Muslim and BME women participated in learning to stitch and weave, contributing to a panel that tells stories about Dundee and its rich history. The Dundee Tapestry is on display at V&A Dundee, where you can see the Amina women's Ninewells Panel.
Quilling Sessions
A service user delivered quilling sessions to her peers. She was appreciative of the support Amina offered and continues to volunteer and support creative sessions.
