MissPlaces supports women’s well-being through a wide range of craft activities and workshops
MissPlaces is a community business which was set up in the summer of 2017. We are a warm, friendly and supportive group, who meet regularly bringing a wide variety of interests, skills, talents and hobbies, to contribute to the economic growth and sustainability of MissPlaces. Members use their skills, both old and new, to make items to sell and just a few to mention are Jewellery, greetings cards, light up bottles and seasonal gifts, but we also sell a range of products which more specialised craft items, bespoke in nature, which can be personalised for commissioning. We have some members who excel at the more traditional home making skills, like sewing, cross stitch, knitting and crocheting. This means we can offer our service to commissioned orders for items which utilizes these skills. We also have a heat press and have recently started doing personalised printing on items. MissPlaces supports each member to be the ‘best they can be’ and aims to create a healthy ethos of well-being and wellness. Our members regularly report that attending MissPlaces has improved their self-confidence and self-esteem, reduced their social isolation, increased their skills set and expanded their friendship group. We welcome all women from all backgrounds and support everyone to reach their potential; harnessing an individual’s ‘special something’ to be more creative, purposeful and inspirational. Every member has their own ‘story’ to tell; many ladies attending MissPlaces have experienced difficult life events, and could have experienced a bereavement, have low self-confidence, low self-esteem, could have anxiety, depression, other mental health issues, or are feeling isolated and lonely. A new member can expect to be welcomed and supported by the Director, who is a Counsellor by profession, who endeavours to offer a friendly listening ear and a brew, to help with meeting the other members and settling in. For an informal chat please make initial contact by sending a private message, email us to [email protected] or ring the Director on 07513 139930.

Can you help Emma with this research? 🦋 
🦋 Could you help with our research through a little creativity?
We’re working with Public Involvement and Engagement Hub to explore people’s experiences of accessing healthcare while experiencing homelessness.
If you’re currently homeless or have experienced homelessness in the past, we’d love you to get involved. 💛
I know coming along to a group session isn’t possible or comfortable for everyone, so you can take part wherever you feel comfortable, in your own time.
We’re inviting you to create something around butterflies as a sign of transformation. A drawing, painting, collage, poem, a few words… whatever suits you.
I’ve got a few questions to help you think about your experiences and give you a starting point, so you don’t need to know straight away what you’d like to create.
You don’t need to be “arty”. It’s about what you want to express, not how it looks. There’s no pressure to make it a positive story, and you only share what feels comfortable.
Send me a private message if you’d like to take part. I can send over the questions and explain more about the research and how your contribution would be used.
Please share with anyone who might like to get involved. 🦋💛
