our stories matter

My Name is Bailey & I am a graduate of Manchester School of Art. My art focuses on well-being and mental health and how art can help improve those aspects of people’s lives. Much of my work has involved engaging with people from all walks of life, collaborating with other students and artists, arranging exhibitions and working with venues and Manchester-based charities and even setting up this website. Our Stories Matter combines my art (with a focus on self-care and wellbeing) with community input, be it personal stories about mental health or collaborations with charities and other artists. You can access free self-care downloads, purchase positive message products & see more of my work on this site!

art by vanessa

Hi there. I'm Vanessa and I love sharing skills. Having worked in the corporate world for nearly 30 years, and thinking more recently about how I could inspire creativity in others, I became self-employed and launched my arts and crafts for wellbeing business in 2021. I am a Certified Zentangle®️ Teacher, which means that I teach an amazing drawing technique, all about patterns. I am also a professional singer/pianist and enjoy performing regularly at weddings and private events. I was born in New Zealand, adopted at two weeks old (lucky me!), and grew up in wonderful Hong Kong. I specialise in making workshops logical and easy to follow, through a step-by-step approach, enabling everyone to succeed and to feel proud of what they have achieved in a short space of time. Enjoy looking through my workshops if you're a company HR member, a wellbeing/employee engagement specialist, responsible for culture, or a team leader, please enjoy looking through my experiences here. Please get in touch by email here, if you'd like an arty team experience to remember. And as an aside, this is music website - www.vanessahastings.co.uk See you!

the romani cultural and arts company

The Romani Cultural Arts Company. is the leading Romani and Traveller community-based organisation in Wales, traditionally using the arts and culture as a vehicle for advocacy and empowerment, amongst the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. RCAC is also supporting individuals to become “Community Champions”, as actors and agents of change in their own communities, making a difference for themselves and the wider society. RCAC is managed by a Board (voluntary management committee) made up of representatives from the GRT communities, meaning that community members have a role as decision-makers and are part of the process of shaping the advocacy and rights agenda that RCAC promotes. The Company believes it is essential that the GRT communities be at the forefront of social progress and positive developments in social inclusion, in the struggle or the recognition of GRT rights and promoting inter-cultural understanding. Within Wales and increasingly across the UK, our advice and expertise is sought by local governments, policy-makers, decision-takers and local or national institutions. We are asked to evaluate the effectiveness of their policies and strategies or to support them in consultation to ensure the voice of the GRT communities they serve, is heard. We lead on advocacy for these vulnerable communities, influencing the policy and strategy agendas in the context of a devolved Welsh Government and increasingly internationally across the UK. Recently we have been able to:
