✨ Women’s Health Community Project – Creative Sessions for Women

Let’s SHAPE Our Creativity CIC is hosting a small series of relaxed creative sessions across Wigan. These are calm, welcoming spaces where women can slow down, try a creative activity and spend time together.

Each session explores a different craft. No experience is needed and all materials are provided.

These sessions are also part of a community project exploring women’s experiences of gynaecological health services, including menopause, menstrual health and accessing support. Through creative activities and informal conversation, we hope to better understand the challenges women can face when seeking help and how services could improve.

There is no expectation to share anything personal. You’re welcome to simply enjoy the creative activity.

To help us hear from a range of women, we ask that you book onto one session only.

A £3 booking fee helps secure spaces and reduce no-shows so places can be used by those who would like to attend.

This is awesome! So pleased to hear this group is expanding to another venue 💕

We’re really excited to be launching our second EPiC MEN group this Thursday Leisure United William Foster and this one is right on the doorstep for the men of Ince.

EPiC MEN is all about giving men a place where they can just turn up, have a brew, and talk if they want to. No pressure. No judgement. Just easy conversations and support from other men who understand that life can get heavy sometimes.

Since starting EPiC MEN we’ve seen something powerful happen. Men come once, and then they come back every week. We think when you find a place where you’re welcomed, listened to, and respected, it makes a difference.

This new group means more men can access support closer to home, without having to travel far. Sometimes that’s the difference between reaching out and staying silent.

If you’re a man who’s been feeling low, stressed, overwhelmed, or just needs a place to talk, you’re welcome here.

Just turn up. The kettle will be on. ☕

Because no man should have to carry everything on his own 👊🏼👊🏽

This is fantastic – the second of their group sessions for Men 🫂

We’re proper proud to say we’re opening our second EPiC MEN group on Thursday 12th March! 👊🏼👊🏽

When we first started EPiC MEN, we just wanted a space where lads and blokes could turn up, have a brew, and not have to pretend they’re fine.

What’s happened since? Well, it’s been life-changing.

We’ve seen men walk in with heavy shoulder’s, not sure what to expect. And then come back the week after.
And the week after that!

And that’s the thing.
Men don’t just come once. They stay.

Because when you create a space that’s safe, with no judgement, no pressure, and no big speeches, just honest conversations and proper peer support, it absolutely works.

So we’re growing 😃

Our second EPiC MEN group will be at William Foster Playing Fields, where we already run Crisis Harbours on Mondays and Fridays. It’s a brilliant, welcoming building, free parking, good facilities and it already feels like home to us.

We genuinely can’t think of a better place to start the next chapter.

Men’s mental health matters.
And men deserve spaces that feel safe, local, and theirs.

If you’ve been thinking about coming along to EPiC MEN, take this as your sign.

There’ll be a brew waiting for you 👊🏼👊🏽
