A COMMUNITY arts project in Shipley is to start a new mental well-being scheme later this week.

Hive was granted almost £200,000 from the Big Lottery Fund to start up Thrive, offering support for people living with mental health illness, aiming to boost self-confidence and combat isolation.

The ten-week courses start of the project takes place at Hive, Kirkgate, Shipley, on Friday, February 27, from 12.30pm to 3.30pm.
