Blissful Bumps is a creative wellbeing programme designed to support pregnant people through art, relaxation, and community connection. Run by Your Trust and led by local artist Erica Matthews, the sessions offer a calm, welcoming space to explore creativity, meet others, and focus on wellbeing during pregnancy.
Each fortnightly session combines artist-led creative activities with support from local maternity services, including midwives and early years specialists. Activities have included making art journals, tie-dye baby grows, block-printing burp cloths, and gentle yoga – all aimed at boosting confidence and wellbeing.
Blissful Bumps was first launched in April 2025 with funding from Arts Council England. The project has helped build a supportive community of expectant parents and artists across Rochdale, and Your Trust is continuing to develop and expand the programme in the future, with funding from the Museums Association’s Health and Wellbeing in Museums Fund, supported by the Julia Rausing Foundation.
