A Salvation Army homeless hostel on Brick Street is giving their residents a much-needed mental health boost through shote-painting classes.
James Lee House is the home of over 50 homeless people in Warrington, catering exclusively to people over the age of 18 for five decades now.
The charity has been putting on a strong programme of activities for their residents, with most of them featuring a creative spin.
This comes following research revealed the therapeutic mental health benefits of putting on creative classes.
Debbie Lyon, an assistant support worker who comes up with the idea said: “we wanted to create a positive activity that allowed residents to explore their creativity and escape their experiences whilst also having fun at the same time.”
The class create painted shoes often themed around major events, with the above shoes having been created to celebrate the Queen’s jubilee last year.
