National Creative Wellbeing Project (NCWP)
Request a kit
Every month, we put together a selection of VI-friendly creative activities for you to do from the comfort of your own home.
You'll find our December project of activities below. For more information and to request a kit, simply fill in the form.
What's our NCWP?
Our NCWP is for all our Members, whether you loved arts and crafts prior to your sight loss and need a helping hand to continue, or you're simply looking for something to occupy your time.
It's available to all Members and is especially popular with those unable to visit one of our centres or who simply enjoy engaging in a creative project in a comfortable environment.
You may have taken part in arts and crafts activities prior to your sight loss and feel unsure how to continue them, or you may just be looking for something to occupy your time.
We'll send you everything you need to complete your creative activity, plus easy to follow, step-by-step large print instructions, as well as audio instructions on a USB stick or on email by request.
Yes! The instructions are written with a VI user in mind, with tactile prompts and image descriptions, offering a more bespoke project than something you'd find in a craft store.
Winter mandala mosaic
The autumn mandala mosaic was extremely popular, so we have designed a winter version with icy blues, whites and grey tones. You will receive everything you need for your mosaic including a 20cm circular base, labelled and separated tiles and a step-by-step guide.
Reindeer wooden model
This is a slightly easier wooden model kit for the festive period, so as many people as possible can take part. This is a 38-piece model, with a red bobble nose to create your own Christmas Reindeer. It will come with PVA glue, a step-by-step graphic designed instruction guide, hints and tips and sandpaper.
Angelfish model
We have limited availability of the angelfish model from earlier in the year for those who might have missed out. A 130 piece wooden model kit of an angelfish, you’ll receive a step by step graphic guide and some hints and tips to build this beautiful model.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on our activities. Your feedback is so valuable as it helps shape the work we do, so we really appreciate it when you complete and return the surveys in your kits.
