The creative writing group is with patients attending the Wellbeing Centre (WBC) at Teesside Hospice. The WBC is for individuals who have a life limiting illness and are currently independent but require support and skills to live their lives to the full. We run various support groups with the aim to increase self esteem, confidence and low mood to name a few. We have previously had a creative writing group and it would be great to run another one. There will be staff available to help within the group but the student would plan the session using their knowledge and skills from their creative writing degree. Alternatively, students may be asked to work with a patient to help write some of their life memories.
