Enrolment:

This course is funded by Bolton's Funds and is for anyone aged 18+, living in Greater Manchester with lived experience of mental illness. The course itself is not about mental health but to support people living with these things, through creativity, to pursue their artistic interests and talents.

Please let us know if you cannot attend a session due to illness with at least 24 hours notice so we can make the most of each place. By signing up you are committing to attending both weeks of the project. If this is a problem please contact us.

If the event is full, please join the waiting list as a place could be come available at any point.

Unfortunately, due to no shows along side the rising cost of living, we will be asking for a £1 donation for each workshop. By making these sessions just £1 a session, it will help to keep Breakdown Bolton running.

Please use code PAYONDOOR where possible and if you wish to use cash (no fees for us) or if this is a problem. We appreciate that this may not be affordable to everyone and we would never ask anybody to donate, if it is beyond their means.

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our cause to make art accessible for all.
