Adult Day Opportunities

---

At Cathartic, we believe creativity can have a powerful impact on wellbeing, confidence and independence.

Our Adult Day Opportunities provide inclusive, creative and sociable sessions in a welcoming and fully accessible studio environment in Watford. Through imaginative arts activities, participants are supported to build confidence, develop skills, form friendships and engage in meaningful creative experiences.

We are passionate about creating opportunities where every person feels valued, empowered and able to achieve, regardless of ability or previous creative experience.

Sessions are designed to support:

• wellbeing and self-esteem 
• independence and confidence 
• social connection and communication 
• creativity and self-expression 
• personal growth and individual outcomes 

All workshops are hands-on, adaptable and person-centered. Activities are tailored to the interests, strengths and support needs of the individuals attending, with materials, equipment and delivery adapted to maximize accessibility and independence.

Participants do not need to be naturally artistic to take part — our focus is on enjoyment, engagement and creating positive experiences in a supportive environment.

Sessions take place during term-time only at our creative studio in Watford and run for 3 hours.

• Monday: 10am–1pm 
• Wednesday: 10am–1pm and/or 2pm–5pm 
• Friday: 10am–1pm 

Participants attending both Wednesday sessions are welcome to remain in the studio during the lunch period. Packed lunches are required and staff supervision is provided.

Cathartic’s Day Opportunities are an approved Hertfordshire County Council Adult Care Service on the Ebrokerage system.

Sessions can be funded through:

• Direct Payments 
• Social Care Funding 
• Private Funding 

Our rates align with the current local Direct Payment hourly rate, with an additional £5 contribution per session for materials and refreshments.

We offer an initial taster session before participants commit to attending for the remainder of the term.
