Get Creative This Christmas: Join Our Festive Poetry Contest!

The Health and Wellbeing Team is excited to invite you to unleash your creativity this holiday season by participating in our festive poetry contest. Engaging in artistic activities like singing, dancing, painting, or writing can boost confidence, make us feel more engaged and resilient, and alleviate anxiety, depression, and stress. Poetry therapy, in particular, has been shown to improve self-esteem, self-understanding, and encourage the expression of feelings.

We encourage you to write a poem on the theme "What Christmas Means to Me." Whether it’s a cherished childhood memory, a special family tradition, or the warmth of giving and togetherness, we want to hear your unique take on the festive season. You can work individually or as a team to create your poem.

Please submit your entries to healthandwellbeing@carmarthenshire.gov.uk by 12pm on Wednesday, December 10th.
