We’re thrilled to have been commissioned by Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust to bring our creative recovery maintenance activities to ARC Hounslow and ARCH Hillingdon service users.

These new partnership initiatives reflect our commitment to expanding access to recovery-focused arts activities, offering life-changing opportunities to more communities.

ARC Hounslow

Until the 29th May 2025, Outside Edge is running a new weekly Drop-in Drama group at ARC Hounslow, bringing our transformative theatre workshops to their service users and the local community.

These free sessions will foster confidence, connection and recovery through creativity in a welcoming, supportive space.

These sessions are open to any adult across London affected by and at risk of addiction and take place weekly on Thursdays 4:00pm-6:00pm at ARC Hounslow, 2 Montague Road, Hounslow, TW3 1LD.

ARCH Hillingdon

In ARCH Hillingdon, we will be delivering our Five Ways to Wellbeing Drama and Creative Writing Course, each session focussing on one of the Ways to Wellbeing. Our Five Ways to Wellbeing sessions combine creativity with practical tools to enhance mental and emotional wellbeing.

We have also been commissioned to run five bespoke Drama sessions which will explore themes and topics relevant to ARCH Hillingdon service users and their recovery.

Our unique creative activities help participants to build confidence, reduce loneliness and develop commitment. All skills practised in the workshop are transferable skills such as speaking with confidence, improvisation and creative problem solving.

These sessions are for ARCH Hillingdon service users only.
