Summer fun for Helium’s Community Workshops in Cork City
Helium Arts is launching a new series of art workshops in Cork City for children and young people with long term illnesses. These workshops all kick off in May and run for a period of several weeks. Over the course of these workshops, participants will work with Helium’s Creative Health Hub artist in Cork, Siobhán Clancy. They will take part in creative activities that are based on the participants’ own unique interests and ideas, in a fun and relaxing environment.
- Workshops are free.
- Medical cover will be provided by a trained professional.
