Packed programme of events now on offer at Northamptonshire’s new wellbeing hub

March 7, 2022

Delapré Abbey

Storytelling classes, a board games café, a book club and laughter workshops are just a few of the events now on offer courtesy of Northamptonshire’s new wellbeing hub at Delapré Abbey.

Delapré Wellbeing is a new wellbeing hub designed to empower people across the town to take control over their health and wellbeing through cultural experiences, events, classes and more. Crucially, all the activities have been suggested and designed by members of the community – and are open for bookings and registrations now.

There are also just a handful of days left for people to get involved in a new community arts project, one which will bring individual experiences of the pandemic together for a dramatic exhibition in the Abbey grounds.

Meena Puaar, a member of the Delapré Wellbeing co-creation steering group, said:

“This is all about wellbeing – led by the community, for the community. There is a real feeling of joy with spring coming in the air. We are reconnecting post covid. This programme feels a little like a caterpillar emerging from a butterfly cocoon. Come, join us, get involved.”

Meena added:

“We are a group of people who live locally and are interested and have a love for everything that happens here. We have thought about things people enjoy doing and are excited to unveil our varied programme. This is for people of all skills, from all backgrounds and of all abilities.”

Delapré Wellbeing is based on Action for Happiness’ ‘Ten Keys to Happier Living’ and is one of 37 projects from across the country to receive funding from the Thriving Communities Fund. The fund has been set up to support communities to address the issues that they face as a result of Covid-19.

The project is a collaboration between Delapré Abbey Preservation Trust, Action for Happiness Northamptonshire, Warts and All Theatre, The General Practice Alliance Federation, Northampton Leisure Trust, Northamptonshire Sport, and the University of Northampton.

These events will run until May. Choose from the following and make sure you register to guarantee your place.
