Self Care Creatives

Some very kind words from one of our recent workshops! 🧑‍🎨💛

In these sessions, you can expect a warm welcome, a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, and plenty of time to slow down, get creative and try something new.

You don't need to think of yourself as “creative” or have any previous experience. Our workshops are designed to give everyone the chance to learn at their own pace, enjoy the process and leave with something they've made themselves.

Often, the creativity is only part of it. It's also about getting out of the house, meeting lovely people, having a chat and taking a little time for yourself.

We absolutely love hearing that our workshops have helped someone discover a new hobby, feel welcome and make new connections. 💓

Keep an eye on our upcoming events to find your next opportunity to join us!

We’ve been making the most of the gorgeous weather recently and getting out and about scouting new venues for The Glimmer Project ☀️

Come with us for a little behind-the-scenes look at what goes into finding the perfect spaces for our upcoming creative wellbeing workshops…

First stop was Chelwood Community Garden in Adswood - such a beautiful, peaceful outdoor space that feels perfect for slowing down, getting creative and connecting with others.

And obviously, venue scouting is thirsty work… so we also had to make a very important stop at Ranny’s, a brilliant local Stockport business serving THE BEST goodies from stickyfingersstockport 😍

One of our favourite parts of growing The Glimmer Project is discovering more of the wonderful spaces, communities and independent businesses we have right here in Stockport.

We’ve got lots more planned and we can’t wait to share where The Glimmer Project is heading next! 💛

We are absolutely over the moon to announce that Self Care Creatives CIC has been shortlisted in the Stockport Business Awards!

One of our lovely attendees recently shared these words about coming along to our Self Care Creatives workshops:

“To wake up in the morning, knowing I am going to a Self Care Creatives workshop is my definition of a glimmer!”

And that's exactly what we hope these sessions can become. Something small to look forward to. A reason to get out of the house. A chance to create, chat, connect with lovely people and enjoy some time that's simply for you. 💓

The craft itself might change from workshop to workshop, but the feeling we want you to leave with doesn't, a little lighter, a little more uplifted and hopefully carrying that glimmer with you for the rest of your day.

As this wonderful testimonial puts it, sometimes a glimmer can grow into “a gleam to a light at the end of the tunnel.”

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who comes along, creates with us and makes these workshops the warm, welcoming spaces they've become.

What if you gave yourself 90 minutes to dream, create and reset? 🌼

Life gets busy, and it's easy to put our own hopes and goals on the back burner.

Our Glimmer Goals Workshop is an opportunity to slow down, reflect on what matters most to you, and create a beautiful visual reminder of where you'd like life to take you next.

Using collage, creativity and mindful reflection, you'll leave with your own personalised goals board and, hopefully, a renewed sense of clarity and inspiration.

No artistic experience is needed, just bring yourself and an open mind.

📅 Tuesday 11 August 2026
⏰ 7:30pm–9:00pm
📍 The Station House, Cheadle Hulme

Thanks to funding from the UK Government, you can book a fully funded place by entering £0 at checkout, or make an optional contribution if you're able to support future community workshops.
