Building Bridges: A Patchwork of Women’s Stories
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.

Join our friendly Friday coffee mornings for women to chat, meet others, and make a collaborative patchwork over five sessions.
