Connect with others and pick up resources to tackle anxiety in the Golden Thread Gallery Hub this autumn.

GTG is taking part in the ‘Feeling Anxious?’ campaign with Belfast HSC this autumn, with access to ideas to help manage anxiety and information on finding support. Drop into the Hub where the Gallery’s Engagement Assistant and Volunteers will guide to join in with our activities to support mental health, and help you access the campaign’s wider resources. The campaign will run between World Suicide Prevention Day and World Mental Health Day (10 September – 10 October 2026).

In Northern Ireland almost one-in-five adults has a potential mental health problem and anxiety is a common experience for many people. Looking after our mental health is not
something we should only do when we are feeling down, it’s something we should proactively maintain, just like our physical health. For more information, visit Minding Your Head.

Engaging in art activities has been proven to benefit mental health and help with anxiety and depression, improve focus, and promote relaxation. Why not enjoy some mindful colouring in the Hub during Friday lunchtimes? Mindful colouring is great for your brain. Come down to the Hub and end your week on a calm note. Go outside the lines if you like!

All materials are provided, as well as tea, coffee & biscuits. No booking required, just drop in!
