Lovely evening with @CreativeRecove1 and the Live Arts Cafe group.Sunflower themed crafts and planting our own seeds. I love the symbolism of Sunflowers seeking out positivity and strength, as the bloom turns to face and follow the Sun🌻 #creativerecovery #wellbeing #positivity

I love visiting @sheffieldchildrens with @artfelt_sheff all year round but Christmas time is always special. I’ve been making Christmas crafts with lots of lovely patients & their families today. Recent snowfall in Sheffield adding to the Christmassy feel! #officiallychristmas
