Veterans In Communities Art Group

​The Art group meets on Tuesdays and Fridays at the VIC Centre in Haslingden. VIC provides informal workshops around arts and crafts using the different painting styles, using a range of different materials to produce a variety of crafts and mediums to increase the knowledge and skills of participants. A craft group now runs every Monday morning at the VIC Centre where they are producing a variety of crafts that are being sold at craft fairs and community events and at our Accrington veterans drop-in shop. Once a month VIC hold a workshop where members can learn to pain in the style of Bob Ross.

Many of those who have taken part have had very basic arts and crafts skills, the work produced has improved so much that their work has now been exhibited at the number of venues.

Veterans In Communities supports veterans in Gloucestershire through outreach, reducing isolation and improving health, employment and rehabilitation.
