Vaccine Easy Art Sessions by Saba Khan

July 1, 2022July 1, 2022 Mind in CroydonLeave a comment

If you love making art, meeting people and want to share views on the Covid-19 vaccine, then we have eight free exciting art sessions for you! Come to one, or as many sessions as you like, the choice is yours! Hosted by Mind in Croydon and local artist Saba Khan, you will have great fun painting, drawing or paper-cutting, portraits, landscapes, book covers and still-life.

Or if you prefer, make your own art and enjoy our conversation and refreshments! What’s special about these art sessions is that we also want to hear your views on the Covid 19 vaccination. Your feelings and opinions matter and whatever your view, we would like to know what you think? Have you taken the vaccine or not? What influenced your choices? We will also talk about interesting topics such as self-care, making powerful healthcare choices, caring for others and happy memories.

All workshops will be held on Thursdays during July, August, and September 2022!

Location: Fairfield House, 10 Altyre Road, East Croydon, CR0 5LA

To sign up speak to a member of staff at Fairfield House or contact them on 020 8688 1210 or email

On 31st October there was an official unveiling of the new computer room at Fairfield House. The room will give members access to first rate IT which will help them in so many ways from improving their skills and confidence on-line to being able to deal with on-line benefit claims. The room has been made possible by the donation of 30 computers from the Pension Protection Fund as part of their on-going support for Mind in Croydon. As well as the computer room at Fairfield House, staff at Mind in Croydon received upgrades to their office machines. Chair of Mind in Croydon, John Pestell, said, “It was a great pleasure to see PPF at Fairfield House once again helping Mind in Croydon. Their generosity know no bounds and we are so pleased with the gift of computers which allows us to offer our clients the very latest in technology. That said PPF do so much for us above and beyond this gift and that it is greatly appreciated by all at Mind in Croydon. Thank you.”

Simon Liste, Chief Technology Officer at the PPF said: “It was truly amazing and so rewarding to see the happiness and excitement of those that use the Mind Hub, when the computer room was unveiled. It makes us proud and honoured, as an organisation to be able to help Mind in Croydon in their journey and purpose”
