‍TAKING CARE OF YOUR HEALTH & WELLBEING

‍

‍Glossop Arts Project  

Glossop Arts Project is a not-for-profit community-based project bringing Art to life! We offer creative sessions within a stimulating atmosphere to promote freedom of artistic expression, enhance social inclusion and wellbeing. Our welcoming, friendly and inclusive principles inspire people to try new activities, learn and improve skills, and build self-confidence.  

‍

‍The Bureau  

The Bureau - Glossop's community wellbeing charity - works with the belief that all members of the community will have both support needs of their own and the capacity to support others at various times in their lives ‚ in some cases simultaneously. It is our mission to identify and link together community needs and solutions to enable people to live independently and improve the quality of life for local communities.

• We host regular networking events for creative, food and drink and music individuals and businesses, encouraging people to get together and talk, share ideas and challenges and find ways to work together to improve business and celebrate the town.
• We curate a series of artist residency programmes called Pairings where we pair an artist or creative practitioner with an issue or theme.
• We host a website which is a directory of creatives and independent businesses operating in the Glossopdale area. The website also has an events calendar, an online marketplace for artisans and a section for blogs, inviting local people to write articles to support and promote local talent.
