Arts Active Trust has been working over the last few months with a small group of young people who access the charity’s support and education services at their centre in Barry. Llamau is the leading homelessness charity in Wales, supporting the most vulnerable young people and women.

The incredibly talented artist Emma Prentice led a series of hands-on creativity for wellbeing sessions. The workshops enabled participants to relax and enjoy exploring and developing their creative skills. The sessions were fun and informal, providing an opportunity to strengthen relationships, build camaraderie and mutual support within the group and with the staff at Llamau.

‘The sessions in the Vale have been fantastic, the young people have thoroughly enjoyed them and are already missing Emma. She is such a lovely artist, with fabulous ideas that really bring out the creativity in the young people‘.

Every session resulted in the young people finding new skills and making something unique and personal to take away with them.

Arts Active are delighted to be joining Llamau’s Summer Family Festival providing fun crafting sessions for all ages. A great opportunity for young people and their families to explore their creativity and have lots of fun!
