WHAT'S ON - to make you feel good

OUT OF THE BLUE...

Hoot and AIM (Artists in Mind) are working together to deliver a range of creative arts projects to enhance the health and wellbeing of people who experience, or are at risk of experiencing, mental health difficulties. All groups and activities are delivered by experienced artists and are free. No experience needed.

Making referrals

You can refer people to any of the Out of the Blue activities by filling in the "Participant Information Form" (PIF) and returning it to the Out of the Blue Project c/o Hoot. Participants can self-refer. We will contact you or the participant on receipt of the PIF. Alternatively people are still welcome to turn up on the day. Please can you make sure that forms are filled in on both sides so that we have all the information we need.
