We are delighted to announce that we are able to continue our work with a small group young of people who have experienced mental distress and who will be supported by NStep. The proposed project is for a series for 6 wellbeing walks through a park, garden, growing space, heritage site or an area of a history rooted in a particular industry or craft. Each will be planned by the Project Coordinator and will incorporate a creative activity connecting walkers with the history/ landscape of the site. The project is called Branching Out - Exploring Parks and Gardens - Mindfulness, Walking, Wellbeing Project and has been funded by Northamptonshire Community Foundation from the Margaret Giffen Community Fund.
In 1996 Back To Books was formed as a Reading Group and commissioned artist Carole Miles and author Kathy Page to create a series of stories and prints, which toured as The Sensuous Page. 2008 saw the reincarnation of Back to Books; today the members are drawn together by a passion for reading, writing and making. The group raises funds on a project by project basis and have new projects in the pipeline.
