Encouraging the elderly to connect with others and learn and develop new skills, we offer series of workshops including outdoor art in the Abbey gardens, collage and various craft sessions. Participants have reported an improved sense of worth, enjoyment and interest in our courses and we continue to run these engaging projects for Gatehouse in Bury St Edmunds for a third year.
