Mind Arts Project Stockport

 
Who are we?
We are a community-based rehabilitative arts project for adults recovering from mental ill-health who are living in the community.

What do we offer?
We offer a wide range of creative experiences in the visual arts, theatre, creative writing, animation and photography.

We are regularly involved in partnership projects and commissions, including "Streets Ahead" and a sculpture trail at Chadkirk Chapel.

There is a social side to MAPS as well, with trips and events regularly organised by the
members themselves.

Sessions are run by professional artists supported by skilled volunteers. Experienced members act as mentors to those in need of guidance and support. Sessions take place Monday to Thursday (10.30-12.30 and 2.00-4.00pm). There is an open studio drop-in for all members on Friday (10.00-4.00pm).

What are the outcomes?
Involvement in creative activities coupled with emotional support enriches experience, raising confidence, enhancing self-esteem and encouraging social skills. Together we promote a positive image of ourselves as people with a lot to offer the community at large and we encourage members to see MAPS as a first step towards other opportunities such as further education, volunteering or employment.
