Our Mission

Kaleido Arts for Wellbeing uses creative arts to bring wellbeing to people suffering because of war, discrimination, abuse and loss. We recognise that trauma and mental health issues affect people from all walks of life, and we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience freedom and joy through creativity.

Our Groups

Writing for Wellbeing

Writing for Wellbeing is a 10 week programme. Each week builds thematically on the one before, taking the writers on a journey that encourages authenticity, freedom and hope.

Drumming for Wellbeing

Our Drumming for Wellbeing programme uses therapeutic drum-circle experiences to develop creativity and wellbeing. The course focuses on team building, self-expression, motivation and emotional regulation.

Crafting for Wellbeing

In collaboration with Peaced Together, we offer a 10-week programme seeing brokenness as an opportunity for creative design.
