Dundee Creative Well-Being Skill Share
Our Creative Well-Being programme has developed activities and workshops around four strands that support mental health and well-being. All workshops and group activities are led by women and centred around their distinct needs. Our regular clients come from all backgrounds, and enjoy learning and growing in 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
Our service users have delivered sewing, crocheting and knitting weekly sessions. These skill are very beneficial and encourage service users to think of ways to start their own businesses and give back to the community.
Henna Workshops
One service user delivered Henna workshops to the group. She was pleased at the opportunity and support provided by Amina MWRC. Sessions helped to raise awareness of her services and increased word of mouth.
Tapestry Sessions
In partnership with Dundee Tapestry in 2023, Muslim & BME women learned to stitch and weave, to contribute to a panel that tells stories about Dundee and its rich history. The Dundee Tapestry was displayed at V&A Dundee, where the Amina Ninewells Panel was on display.
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.
