Friends Around the Table
Offering family carers, and adults living rurally, relaxed and enjoyable creative get-togethers exploring food, culture and nature.
Introduction
Through our Creative Boost project, Suffolk Artlink are working with Carers Support groups across Suffolk to offer carers the opportunity to be creative, learn new skills and connect with others.
All our sessions are led by professional participatory artists who are expert in offering enjoyable activities for people of all abilities where participants can achieve remarkable work in a short time.
Thanks to funding from Suffolk Family Carers these sessions are available to carers groups for free.
For workshop details and booking information and for DIY activities for people to do at home, with family, and with their community groups click the Take Part button.
Creative Boost is part of our Friends Around the Table programme providing professionally led, participatory creative workshops in Suffolk’s communities

What inspired this project?
Friends Around the Table uses practices, learning and resources from previous Suffolk Artlink projects to build broader and more sustainable communities.
‘The sessions I have attended, have been very educational, welcoming and comforting. I would not normally see or talk to anyone all day.’
