Blesma Storytelling and Wellbeing Programme sign up form 2026/27

This year, we have an exciting opportunity for Blesma Members to pool their creativity into one shared goal… a book no less!

We're kicking off the BLESMA Storytelling and Wellbeing programme year with a series of workshops exploring creative prose, memoir writing, poetry, illustration and photography. What you create will come together in a published book, shared with the BLESMA community and charity supporters. Selected works may also feature in an exhibition in Summer 2027, marking BLESMA's 95th anniversary.

The workshops on offer are:

  • Poetry with Elle Dillon Reams – 3 weekly sessions online - 28 Oct, 4 and 12 Nov – 16:30 - 18:30 pm
  • Writing Course 1 with Kate Beales – 3 day in person residential – London – 24, 25 and 26 November

Please note:
  • All Writing courses are the same workshop content,  just on different dates and different locations.
  • The form will ask for your 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc choice of project. This is to gage preferences, as it will be unlikely you will be able to take part in more than one. 
  • BSWP workshops are fully accessible and open to all Blesma members including widows and widowers. Please note that participation is subject to completing an onboarding process and space availability.
