Creative
The foxwood project can provide a variety of creative activity opportunities for service users of all abilities.
The aims of these activities are:
* Promoting well-being
* Alleviating stress
* Promoting social interaction
* Encouraging service users in any hobby or passion that might one day help to support them emotionally and financially.
Activities are adapted and planned to best suit resources, weather and abilities. Possible activities include: Willow Weaving, Sculpture , Painting, Scrapbooking, Seasonal and Traditional Crafts.
Foxwood aims to provide the best service we can to each individual. If a service user has an activity that they would like to try we will do what we can to make that happen.
We also encourage opportunities for practicing artists, craftsmen and students to display/further their work.
