What role can creativity play in men's health?

Across Medway, arts, culture and learning organisations are helping men build skills, make connections and improve wellbeing through shared creative experiences.

From @electricmedway’s Men in Tech and @sunlight_centre_gillingham Men in Sheds to opportunities through Medway Adult Education and our libraries, creativity is helping people find confidence, community and purpose.

This Men's Health Week, we're celebrating the organisations using arts, culture and creativity to make a positive difference to people's lives.

If you or someone you know needs support, North Kent Mind can help: 01322 291380.

IT’S VOLUNTEERS WEEK!

Volunteering is kindness in action 💙

It’s people showing up, lending a hand, sharing their skills, supporting their communities, checking in on neighbours, helping at events, or simply giving an hour of their time because they care.

@tempotimecredits are lucky to work alongside incredible people who give their time in so many different ways, and every single contribution makes a difference. Whether it’s years of dedication or one small act of support, it all matters, because every moment shared has value.

This Volunteers’ Week, @tempotimecredits and #CreativeMedway are celebrating every volunteer, every act of kindness, and every person helping to build stronger, more connected communities.

THANK YOU for everything you do ✨
