The Brighter Futures programme works in partnership with local health and community providers to improve and sustain positive mental health and wellbeing in Hampshire adults.
Participants come through partners such as wellbeing centres, care providers and social prescribing networks to attend courses such as Needle Felting for Wellbeing, our Seasonal Living Workshop Series or Art Journalling to increase confidence, develop emotional resilience and improve socialisation. Participants can also self-refer themselves onto these courses via our online referral process.
Our Brighter Futures Spring 2025 courses have now been released. Please see the full list of available courses below and click on the links to find out more about each course.
