New Rhythms Drumming Circle
celebrating the success of the New Rhythms Drumming Circle
This was a free four-week wellbeing drumming circle that supported and encouraged adults in rural communities to be creative, gain confidence and connect with others through drumming.
About the project:
- This free four-session wellbeing drumming circle was delivered in partnership with community drummer Aidan Dunphy and Inspire training officer Lisa Norris.
- The programme was designed to support and encourage adults in rural areas who may feel isolated or disconnected from their local community.
- We used drumming to explore personal creativity, boost mental health, gain confidence and connect with others.
- Each week, the group followed the Take 5 Steps to Wellbeing pathway to learn creative and practical ways of prioritising their mental health and wellbeing.
- This REAP-funded project was supported by the National Lottery through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
