Cornhill Community Association

Cornhill Community Art Space

The aim of the project is to continue providing a safe space where people can come and reap the benefits of being creative, with a key focus on yarn craft. The aim is to foster community relationships, reduce social isolation, reduce the poverty gap and to provide a support group for people struggling with their mental health. Yarn craft is evidenced to improve mental health as it provides a mindful focus and a meditative state which can reduce blood pressure and anxiety.
