Groups

 

 

 

Monday Creative Group

 
 

Monday 2pm to 4pm

 


The group goes from strength to strength offering members a challenging and entertaining programme of events throughout the year. The current programme includes art, swimming, table tennis and philosophy as well as providing members with opportunities for taking trips in and around Cambridge.

 

 

Music Group

 
 

Tuesday 2pm to 4pm

 


We sing songs from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s but if people have ideas for other songs we would be glad to hear them. We have a guitar, electric keyboard and a variety of percussion instruments. Recently we have started to work on writing original material. New members would be very welcome.  It doesn’t matter how much musical experience you have had. Come along and enjoy!

 

 

The Singing Group

 
  Wednesday 12pm - 1.30pm  


The Bath House hall in Cambridge is filled with the sound of two and three-part harmony songs from around the world, sung a cappella. The sound can be enormous – it sometimes seems to be made by more than the seven or eight people attending. The sessions are great fun.

Most of the singers are Lifecraft members (although the group is open to anyone with mental health needs). There are about fifteen people who come (although rarely all at once!) We perform about eight times a year, in both mental health and mainstream community settings.


 

Meditation Group

 
 

Wednesday 2pm to 2.30pm

 
  A quiet time for reflection and meditation.



 
 

Creative Writing Group

 
 

Wednesday 2.30pm to 4pm

 


Two outstanding events of the past year were the launch at the Bath House of Louise Mills’s poetry collection “Drowning and other fragments” and Linda Appleby’s “Harvest” with further readings to come at the recently opened Libra and Aries bookshop whose owners are keen to support the creative output of Lifecraft.

 

Women's Group

Thursday 2pm to 4pm


The Lifecraft Women’s Group is for all women who have either suffered from or continue to suffer mental distress. The group offers friendship, networking and a varied and interesting programme. Some of the activities currently offered to the members include artwork, visits to the Botanical Gardens and yoga.


  Art Goup  
  Friday 1pm to 3pm  
 

This is a friendly group where artists of all levels and experience can come together to paint, draw or just share ideas.


 
Saturday service
12.30pm to 5.30pm

The Saturday service is a new venture with the theme of healthy living. We cover themes such as personal safety, stress management, Kickboxing plus leisure activities such as arts/crafts/photography.

We are open from 12.30-5.30 with social time, a healthy meal and then a structured session. New people and new ideas are welcome.
Membership is separate from Lifecraft membership and open to anyone who has experienced mental distress.
