Dundee Creative Well-Being

Muslim and BME women find themselves isolated from society due to issues relating to personal circumstances, lack of confidence, and poor mental health. There is a need to dispel the stigma around these issues and provide services that are more faith and culturally-sensitive.

Based in Dundee, our Creative Well-Being programme offers a safe space for women to learn, create, and connect. We partner with other organisations to deliver workshops that encourage confidence building, creativity, and self-expression. Through this, we want to impress a sense of community and personal well-being among the women who join our programme. The work we deliver help create change needed as women are better informed around mental health and well-being.

The services we provide revolve around four main strands. All the workshops and group activities are led by women and are centred around women’s needs.

“I feel mentally positive every time I go to an Amina session. I get to learn new skills, relax, and speak to different women from diverse cultures I would not meet otherwise.”
