Art Refuge is thinking of creative ways to bring us together during this challenging time. Building on our work with #refugees in northern France, we invite you to sit around a virtual #communitytable and help create a patchwork tablecloth: coronaquilt.org

We are also looking forward to attending this later. #ArtTherapy #Covid_19

Working with teams online during the #Covid19 crisis from Bobby Lloyd & Miriam Usiskin Art Refuge 🧡 was really inspiring and helpful in reframing our thoughts around connectivity in practice. British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) Thank you 🙏

People across the country and across the political spectrum want #destructivefishing like supertrawlers banned from UK Marine Protected Areas. #GeorgeEustice and Defra UK will you listen to the people and ban them?
