Art Workshop by Linda Sharpe

The Chai Art Workshop is one of the most popular of our weekly activities and everybody is welcome to join.

Linda Sharpe believes everybody has the skill to be an artist if they are guided in the right way. Linda provides the group with all the materials as well as images that people can use as a starting point for their painting. She gets to know all her class members individually and helps them develop their skills.

"We have music, we have friendships forming, we have tea and we paint. What can be better than that?!".

Chai Afternoons

Every other Wednesday afternoon Chai welcomes cancer patients, their families and friends to join in a range of activites. Entertainment and games are all part of this social programme. We can help to arrange transport for you.

If you have not been before do come and try it - you will have fun and meet new friends.

Laughter Clinics by John Cremer

Visitors to Chai are often surprised to hear the building reverberating with laughter on a Wednesday afternoon.

John Cremer has been running workshops at Chai since 2006, attracting a core of dedicated regulars and a steady stream of new faces.

The sessions start very gently and once the creativity starts to flow the laighter is relentless. It is a joy to see the transformation that mirth brings as we forget our troubles and improvise together.? When we create our own entertainment the healing effects stay with us for days.

"It's such great fun. I've never seen people laugh so much".
