Situated in the old Tesco Building on Lowestoft High Street the Battery of Ideas will host two creative wellbeing programmes managed by Suffolk Artlink.
Re>Charge a social prescribing 12 week programme designed to support health and wellbeing and Re>Charge Together a creative community wellbeing 8 week programme aimed at reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation.
