The project is among those funded by the Coalfields Regeneration Trust in the town. Co-director Elaine Blaney said: “The organisation’s objectives are to motivate people to be creative and provide a supportive space for this to happen.

“It is also to address social isolation and show that ‘making’ can be a form of connecting with people.”
