A photo from last night’s Culture Club at Dunfanaghy Family Resource Centre where participants were invited to play with clay.

Moulding potter’s clay offers profound therapeutic benefits by engaging the mind and body in a grounding, tactile experience that reduces stress and enhances emotional well-being.

Moving your hands through clay triggers a chemical reward cycle in the brain, lowering cortisol (stress hormone) levels and prompting the release of serotonin and dopamine.

Our participants found the creative activity very relaxing and fun.

The Culture Club is a weekly session for all adults to promote health & wellbeing.

Everyone is welcome to come along on a Tuesday evening 6-8pm where everyone is invited to take part in cultural/story exchanges and creative arts activities over cups of tea and treats.
