Art Club, Weekly, during school term on Wednesday 4pm-5pm&nbsp;: Art serves as a powerful outlet for feelings and experiences, allowing young people to visually articulate their emotions and thoughts. Creating art can be therapeutic and meditative, reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation, which contributes positively to mental well-being. Exhibiting their work enhances self-esteem and encourages a sense of achievement.&nbsp;Dance Club, Weekly ,during school term on Wednesday 5pm-6pm :Led by a volunteer , this club allows attendees to co-produce the dance sessions, fostering creativity and collaboration. Dance not only promotes physical activity—known to release endorphins that improve mood—but also provides a safe space for self-expression through movement. Participants can channel their emotions via dance, which serves as an effective coping mechanism for managing stress and anxiety. The sense of community developed through shared dance experiences can also foster strong support networks.&nbsp;
