Relax and create: paint by numbers session for war widows, defence and veteran families

Creative activities can play an important role in supporting wellbeing by encouraging mindfulness, relaxation and social connection. Attendees will have the opportunity to create something unique from the provided paint kits and keep their masterpiece afterwards!

Paint by numbers session

War widows, defence and veteran families are invited to come together for a calming and creative evening of online paint by numbers. Facilitated by Social Workers, Evelyn and Hayley, this session offers a supportive and relaxed space where participants can connect while engaging in a gentle, mindful painting activity. 

Paint by numbers provides an easy and accessible way to enjoy creativity without pressure, encouraging focus, relaxation, and self-care. Participants are welcome to unwind, enjoy light conversation, and take comfort in the soothing process of painting at their own pace. No prior painting experience is required, and all experience levels are warmly welcomed. 

One paint by numbers kit per household. Additional brushes can be included for additional people participating. 

There is no cost for this activity. Your paint by numbers kit will be covered by Families of Veterans Guild. 

Previous attendees to Wellbeing activities said “I just wanted to express my gratitude for being able to connect with such a wonderful group. It was such a great opportunity to do a self-care activity and get to know some of the other attendees at the same time.”
