MAKING A STRING ART CARD WORKSHOP 6TH JULY 2022
HBL organised "Making a String Art Card' workshop where all the materials were provided. The participants learnt a new craft and made some lovely handmade cards. These are the perfect way to express their creativity and brighten someone's day. "I enjoyed the creative art and Laurie's patience to teach us a new skill". "Thank you so much for an opportunity to learn something new. I always watch people doing beautiful things with needles, but personally I have never done it before. Today I touched the needle for the first time and I love it. Thank you once again". "It was very relaxing and Laurie was very helpful and knowledgeable". "I enjoyed the environment, the peace and the fun". -
WALK AND TALK JUNE 2022
HBL organised a friendly tour of the local area. Joanna Dudzinska from 'Talking and Exploring' led the walk interacting with the participants and encouraging their interaction and sharing their memories, knowledge and recommendations. The participants were grateful to HBL for providing an activity that brings people together, breaks isolation, encourages interaction between those on the walk and those met on route. Walking outdoors in a group and being mindful of the surroundings is a simple way to make people feel better, especially after the difficulties of the recent years. The participants enjoyed the walk, and many stayed on for a further chat at lunch at the local pizza place, L'oro di Napoli. -
