Projects for Health/Social care staff:
In 2022 Stand Easy launched a new programme of activities for those working or volunteering in Health or Social care settings. These projects are free to take part in. If you are interested in getting involved please contact Hannah, 07833750937, hannahlousieuttley@gmail.com.
Creative Retreats:
Stand Easy run twice yearly Creative Retreats for Health and Social care staff and volunteers. These retreats are perfect for those who are experiencing additional stress, mental ill-health or who would benefit from a break from day-to-day responsibilities and challenges.
The retreats take place at the beautiful Cambo House and Gardens, Kingsbarns, Fife. Participants stay in Cambo House, take part in daily creative workshops and have full access to the estate grounds. Kingsbarns beach is also just a short walk away. Food is provided by the onsite cafe/restaurant.
The content of the retreat varies each time but usually includes creative writing, movement, time in nature, storytelling and reflective tasks.
“Everyone involved in the planning made sure we felt comfortable and never had to participate in everything if we did not want to, making us more relaxed. From start to finish the whole experience was wonderful and definitely being outdoors and away from TV, the noisy world and internet helped me to relax”
Retreats generally take place in Autumn and Spring. Places are limited, please get in touch if you would like to know more.
