Creating a creative community movement! .
Imagine this: hundreds of people in need in our community getting free access to creativity, finding warmth, making friends and boosting their wellbeing - we call this New Brewery Hearts.
New Brewery Hearts participants come from the community and are referred to us by our key front-line community partners who work with vulnerable and disadvantaged people. Our partners include Cirencester Foodbank, The Churn Project and Cirencester Housing for Young People (CHYP). Free spaces on our classes can bring a myriad of physical and mental-health benefits; reduced social isolation and anxiety, a sense of fulfilment, achievement and increased confidence.
New Brewery Hearts patrons play a significant part in making this happen

“The weekly class has given me a sense of purpose to get up in the morning and has prevented me in being socially isolated for one day every week. The course gives me a goal where I have a project to complete by the end of the course. Also, by doing this I get physiotherapy in my wrist and this movement helps my joints to work and to build up muscles. This course has helped me in so many ways - confidence, finding new friends and to complete a goal.
