A DUNFERMLINE art and wellbeing project is branching out to offer more opportunities for those struggling with their mental health.

Falling Up Together, an initiative based within the city's Fire Station Creative, launched earlier this year and aims to support recovery through art.

Dr Drew Walker, who heads up the scheme, says it has just "grown and grown" and is now planning to develop a community-based partnership with the Calais Woods Conservation Group.

He told the Press: "We set up the studio back in January and the numbers of people now dropping in and getting involved has just grown and grown, and we now moving beyond the studio with a number of projects and new partners.

"The Calais Woods Initiative will put creativity into the woods and anyone can come along and try their hand at creativity."

Martin Willcocks, from the Calais Woods Conservation Group, added: "It is an exciting time for the woods following the development of the new campus and we want to encourage more involvement from the local community.

"We hope this new project will be a chance for people to come along see what it is about and join in."

This will involve increasing residents' understanding of the environment around them, while supporting people to create art at the site.

Falling Up Together has backed by Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Alex Rowley, who worked with Drew to establish it as a registered charity.

Last week, he visited their studio, where he met with trustees and heard more about their upcoming plans.

"The success of this project is down to the determination of Drew and the trustees who have come on board with their support and hard work," he said.

"Low mental health is something that can happen to any one of us no matter our age or life experience and to have a venue like this with people who have experience to help, to chat to, is just fantastic."
