enjoy sharing arts

Eastleigh Borough Council’s Enjoy Sharing Arts groups (previously known as Elders Share Arts) has been running for over 10 years and continues, in terms of members, to go from strength to strength, continually attracting new members.

They are held on a termly basis throughout the year in Chandler’s Ford, Eastleigh & Botley. A different art form is covered each term and attendees receive professional tuition, all their materials in a positive, friendly and safe environment. These sessions respond directly to one of Eastleigh Borough Council’s Strategic Priorities “A Healthy Community: active and lively with a spirit of togetherness, health and wellbeing.”

This Spring Term they will be doing Watercolours and Tapestry

Sessions cost £20 per half term (5 weeks)

£40 for full term (10 weeks) plus £5 towards materials.

Sessions start week beginning 9th January (there will be a break during half term)

Tuesday           11am – 1pm                Ritchie Hall, Chandler’s Ford

Wednesday     11am – 1pm                Atrium, The Point, Eastleigh

Friday              11am – 1pm                Botley Community Centre, Botley

The health and social benefits of art for older people is well documented. Taking part in the Enjoy Sharing Arts sessions that Eastleigh Borough Council offers, drastically improves the quality of life for older residents in Chandler’s Ford, Eastleigh & Botley. Older members of the community have the opportunity of being involved in a communal activity which stimulates mental, social and physical well-being.
