Jennifer had the privilege of facilitating West Kent Mind's Word Weavers programme, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund from September 2024 to March 2025. At the end of this creative programme Jennifer edited a book entitled We Are Not Alone. Jennifer says
"It has been a joy to see each member grow in confidence, producing and then sharing their own written pieces. I am personally so proud of all our contributors and thank them for engaging so whole heartedly with the programme."
Jennifer is now working on a new programme, mentoring a group of people with their own, individual writing project ideas, and assisting them with the set up of a peer-support writing group that they will continue to run and benefit from.
You will soon be able to buy copies of this wonderful book which includes written pieces by those on the Word Weavers creative programme and illustrations by those on the Drawn to Wellness programme led by the fantastic Nell Mellerick of Arty Farty Retreat.
