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.
For 2026, we’re running a ten-week blanket-making course inspired by the Touchstones collections, as well as regular sessions at family hubs around Rochdale. See more details on all of these below.
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.
