Wellbeing and culture

---

These workshops have been developed for small groups of participants of all ages, based on the successful wellbeing workshops for adults, which we carried out pre-pandemic. The workshop is designed for groups of approximately 8-10 participants working in an hour session. We will arrive with all the resources and materials that will be needed (all of which are recyclable).

This will include a selection of ready-made piñata base shapes, decorative paper and character features for participants to choose from to make the piñata of their choice. We will show attendants the steps to make their chosen piñata, supporting them where necessary to achieve success. At the end of the session, each participant will take home their creations.
​
​We will also raffle one of our lovely piñatas by the end of each day. All money collected will go towards the continuation of delivering “Make It and Break It” Piñata workshops that are specifically run to help those dealing with mental health issues.

Make it and​ Break It

​Workshops we deliver to the community.

Piñata “Make it & Break it” Workshops (1/2 day):

This is a 3-hour, craft activity for small groups of young people (16-25) or adults (25+) who are experiencing poor mental health, especially stress, low self-esteem, social anxiety or depression, and especially following the difficulties of the pandemic in 2020-21. The activity is great creative outlet allowing the participant to funnel their emotions in a healthy cathartic way.

Over the course of the session, participants will be helped to make and decorate a piñata of their own design, or one of our traditional, Latin American designs. Participants will feel a sense of fulfilment creating a unique piece, which they can then take home to share with family and friends.

This is not run by therapists, counsellors or any self help organisation. This is run by someone who suffers from mental health who has found a creative outlet to help improve and someone supporting them; we simply want to share something that helped us.
​
By heavily subsidising the cost through our sales, sponsorships and donations we are able to offer the workshops at £15pp
