What is a Heath Barn Unlocked’ Event?
Imagine the kind of activities that could happen in the barn if we had the key to Unlock that beautiful space...
​
Is there a project that keeps on getting cast aside in favour of the doom scroll dopamine hit of your phone? Are you seeking an outlet to be yourself in a warm, welcoming space surrounded by like minded individuals? Do you want to 'play' creatively in the comfort of a non-judgemental space? Do you want to meet others with similar interests or be introduced to learning something new?
​
Upon arrival, you’ll hand in your phone – it will be safely locked away in a ‘phone jail' and collected at the end of the evening.
After a short introduction, settle in to enjoy 45 minutes of personal creative time – bring a book, sketchpad, knitting, paints, or journal, and indulge in what you love minus the digital distraction. Get re-acquainted with you!
For the remaining time, engage in real, face-to-face conversations with fellow attendees – meet new people, share ideas, and make meaningful connections.
​
Feel free to bring board games and playing cards to invite strangers into conversation.
​
Niche hobbies are very welcome here!
​
There will be paper, pastels and charcoal to inspire some spontaneous creativity- it's all about play and process and not perfection!
​​
In a world where our phones often act as distractions and obstruct us getting on with the things we 'want to do', these events will create an opportunity for space and time needed to focus on creativity, mindfulness, and community—mirroring the activities we envision at Heath Barn *once* we secure it for community use.
​​​​
Where Do the Funds Go?
All funds raised will directly support the progress of Our Heath Barn CIC campaign (professionals, business plans and marketing) If our goal of securing Heath Barn does not come to fruition, any remaining funds in the account will be donated to another local charity or non-profit organization. I will be transparent and open about how any funding is spent.
Don’t miss this chance to unwind, rediscover your passions, and support a fantastic community cause.
Get involved to be be part of something truly special!
