Divine Days Creative Arts Taster Day

0

Recently Divine Days Creative Arts hosted a Taster Day at the Greenhill Community Centre in Skelmersdale, to enable West Lancs residents to  see for themselves the wide variety of arts, hobby crafts and dance activities that are enjoyed by men and women (irrespective of age, ability, or disability ) and young adults with additional needs every week at the centre.

The local police and County Councillor Terry Aldridge were warmly welcomed. They expressed their delight in meeting and supporting the work of the group. A wonderful and effective way to remain active, to maintain social connections when retired, or to help keep positive and confident when managing a long term health condition.

Divine Days Thursday activities are in two parts –

  • Thursday mornings sees the award winning Divine dancers in action, learning and perfecting their routines and having fun!
  • Thursday afternoons means “Community Connections “. A time to share friendship, a cuppa, hobbies and interests, and new ways to share, learn and enjoy arts and crafts with others.

A recent addition, the Divine Days Social club for young adults with additional needs also meets on Thursday afternoons. New members can get in touch ready to begin in September.

During the taster day Divine Days Dance troupe enjoyed showing visitors and newcomers the fun they have on a typical Dance morning. Divine Days Dancers have additional needs and the group welcomes new members irrespective of ability or disability to enjoy friendships, exercise, free expression and creativity that makes the group so popular and well regarded, when they use beautiful music and the body to tell a story to audiences at events across the borough. Divine Dancers are proud to have been selected as both individual and group winners of the prestigious Nelson Dance Festival.

Community Connections members welcomed new visitors and encouraged them to come again to relax, revive abandoned hobbies and interests, and to sample new activities informally, including painting, colouring books, model making,  knitting, crochet, claywork, Sewing, jigsaws, games, card making,  and much more.

Whilst he was there, County Councillor Terry Aldridge, (Skelmersdale Central) Champion for Older People presented a well-earned award and certificate to Christine, our newest RSPH (Royal Society for Public Health,) Health Champion.

Christine was welcomed by Irene, our longest standing Health Champion.( Divine Days enjoys the support  6 qualified Health Champions who help others to keep physically and mentally healthy through connecting with others, learning new things, helping others and  maintaining independence and a positive outlook on daily life).
