Building Bridges: A Patchwork of Women’s Stories
See You There!
We’d like to prepare the space properly for all attendees, and when to expect you.
What are these sessions?
As part of Building Bridges, we are exploring how creative activities can help reduce social isolation and strengthen relationships between women from different backgrounds and cultures across Flintshire.
Throughout the project, participants will have opportunities to share their experiences, ideas and stories, helping us better understand what helps women feel connected to their communities.
What to Expect
Join our friendly Friday coffee mornings for women to chat, meet others, and make a collaborative patchwork over five sessions.
Open to all—retired, flexible workers, newcomers, parents, carers, or anyone wanting company. No sewing skills needed. Our focus: creativity, connection, and community.
