SIG Penrose Roots is an award-winning community-based recovery service in Luton supporting 600+ people annually through nature-based wellbeing, therapeutic creativity, and sustainable living.

Led by Art Coordinator Elizabeth Aldous – a qualified occupational therapist with education in visual arts and three-dimensional design – our project blends decades of community art experience with trauma-informed mental health support. Liz’s expertise spans therapeutic arts with mental health services, community projects, and person-centred creative practice.

Our programmes are co-designed with people with lived experience, creating accessible spaces where creativity flourishes alongside practical skills. Earth to Fibre marks our first creative showcase.
