Radical Hope 13th September – 8th November 2025 at the GoldenThread Gallery, Belfast Supported by Arts Council of Northern Ireland #ACNISupported @goldenthreadg @whatsonNI @comartspartner

Funding now available for arts projects supporting the wellbeing of older people! Organisations across Northern Ireland are encouraged to apply for funding from the National lottery Arts and Older People Programme. @goldenthreadg in Belfast recently received National Lottery Arts and Older People Programme funding for their project, City of Stories. Over the course of several weeks, participants engaged in a range of visual arts techniques such as painting, colouring, felting and more, with the project culminating in a showcase event at the gallery. Activities were designed to stimulate the senses, promote conversation through storytelling, enhance mobility, dexterity and well-being, plus connect participants to each other and the world around them.
