Our fully equipped studio area has plenty of windows allowing plenty of great natural light to flood the area and our beneficiaries, under the expert eye of our fully qualified instructor, have produced some amazing art and craft work.

Crochet and needlework takes place every Wednesday between 10am and 12pm at Nelson House, but on occassions may be moved to The Bridge Centre. Our Volunteer Lead for Crochet is Anne Johnson and under her skillful eye will show interested beneficiaries how to produce crochet and knit work for a variety of uses. Anne and other volunteers use these skills to produce the knitted soldiers, sailors and aviators that are extremely sought after and even Prince George, Princess Charlot and Prince Louis have one each!

Jigsaws and puzzles are good for your brain and require patience and diligence. The Activities Centre always has a Jigsaw Puzzle open and 'on the go' and we welcome any beneficiary to find a piece to fit or to spend several hours immersed in a puzzle, leaving the stresses of the day behind.

Woodwork takes place at Nelson House every Tuesday and Thursday betweeen 10am and 2pm.  The Group not only learn how to work with wood under the expert guidance of the Group Lead, but they also make items such as bird nesting boxes, feeders, hedgehog houses and various planters.  These items are the offered to the public for donations.  The proceeds are then re-invested into the Group to help purchase more wood and other consumables.

The Fishing Group meet every Friday (weather permitting) at Blissful Lakes Wisbech, where Mrs Bliss has kindly allowed The Bridge for Heroes beneficiaries to fish for free. All that is required is a rod license as fishing equipment (if you do not have your own) is provided for free, as is the bait. The lake is very well stocked and it is rare not to catch a decent sized common or mirror carp.

The Photography Group meet at Nelson House every Thursday between 1pm and 3pm to share tips and knowledge on how to capture the best image possible using light and shadow to best effect.  Sessions can be in or out doors depending on the weather and time of year and the images are displayed first on  a 65" HD TV screen before being printed for all to admire.
