Community
Borders Pottery CIC is a social enterprise. We seek to support the local community by offering creative and sociable opportunities for those with long term mental health difficulties in our local community.
Whether this is people suffering from loneliness due to bereavement or old age, poor mental health due to illness or disability, or those recovering from addiction. We have a diverse range of people attending classes, covering all ages and reasons for attending. People can be referred to our classes via their mental health support workers, via a third party agency, or by themselves or a relative. We seek to provide a warm and friendly place to learn pottery and enjoy the company of others.
