A little creativity, a little curiosity and some moths and bats.

This evening we explored symmetry and gave our brains a little flicker, with these winged creatures becoming a symbol of change.

Another lovely idea from Emily Stevens who volunteered her time to prepare and deliver the session. Thank you, Emily. 💜

Sometimes, the biggest barrier to getting active is confidence.

Taking that first step, trying something new or walking into a room full of people can feel daunting.

At Move & Groove , we want you to feel welcome just as you are. No experience needed, no pressure to get every move right, and no need to keep up with anyone else.

Just music, movement, a few smiles and the freedom to move at your own pace. Singing along is welcome too! 🎶

Sometimes, confidence grows simply by showing up.

Come as you are. Move as you can. Find your groove.

Female Inspirations - Zine Making ✂️🎨

Today, we’re travelling to our favourite places and they don’t have to be holiday destinations! It could be a place that brings back happy memories, somewhere you feel peaceful, a familiar corner of your home, or simply a place where you feel most like yourself.

Through zine making, we’ll explore the places that hold a special meaning for us, one creative page at a time.

Join us today for another free, creative morning at Thimblemill Library at 9:30-11:30.
