Through weekly craft sessions, social outings, and seasonal events, we offer a friendly, welcoming space where laughter is shared and friendships blossom. With loneliness and isolation affecting so many older people—especially in lower-income areas—The Buttons provides a vital lifeline. From creative workshops to local day trips, we encourage active minds, meaningful conversations, and a strong sense of belonging..

HEALING THROUGH ART – Therapeutic Art Sessions for Adults
In a borough where many face barriers to mental health support, our Therapeutic Art programme provides a compassionate, accessible approach to healing. Because everyone deserves space to create, connect, and heal. Our Therapeutic Art sessions offer a calm, creative space where adults can gently explore and express feelings linked to grief, loss, anxiety, and life’s many challenges. Whether coping with bereavement, major transitions, or living with additional needs, participants are supported through guided, sensory-based art activities that promote emotional wellbeing and self-connection. These sessions are especially important for people in our community who may not typically have access to therapeutic services. Art becomes a safe, non-verbal outlet for reflection, healing, and hope—free from judgement or pressure.
