Hive, a Shipley based charity, run a variety of creative courses. Three of their programmes - Thrive, Flourish and Make@Hive – are run for people with low to moderate mental health problems by project workers and volunteers, with the aim of improving wellbeing. The Centre for Health Promotion Research (CHPR) at Leeds Beckett University (LBU) were asked to evaluate the impact of these programmes on service users.
