Creativity changes lives

Creativity changes lives.

Help more people experience the life-enhancing power of the creative arts.

At Create, we believe that people need to create.

For more than 22 years, we’ve brought free, artist-led creative arts projects to children and adults facing some of life’s toughest challenges. Every day, we see creativity reducing isolation, improving wellbeing and helping people discover confidence they didn’t know they had.

Whether someone is living alone, caring for a loved one, recovering from trauma or navigating disability or poor mental health, creativity can provide something incredibly powerful: connection.

DONATE TODAY

A chance to connect.

Creativity is often thought of as a hobby or a luxury. But research tells us something different.

The World Health Organization has identified the arts as playing an important role in supporting health and wellbeing throughout our lives. At Create, we see this every day as participants discover new skills, build confidence and connect with others through creativity.

In 2025/26:

  • 96% of participants said our projects improved their wellbeing.
  • 96% said they felt more connected to others.
  • 95% said they felt more confident after taking part.

Reaching those who need creativity most

Older adults are just one of the communities Create supports.

Across the UK, our professional artists work alongside people facing a wide range of challenges, helping them express themselves, build confidence and feel part of a community.

We work with:

  • Older adults experiencing loneliness, dementia or age-related challenges
  • Young and adult carers
  • Disabled children and adults
  • Children and young people admitted to inpatient psychiatric hospitals
  • Children in care
  • Refugees and asylum seekers
  • Prisoners and their children
  • Survivors of modern slavery

Every project is delivered free of charge. We believe creativity should be accessible to everyone, regardless of circumstance.

Why your support matters

Every day, people across the UK are missing out on the benefits of creativity simply because they cannot access it.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Create (Arts) Limited to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Create (Arts) Limited we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the “Yes” box, I agree I would like Create (Arts) Limited to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Create (Arts) Limited will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Create (Arts) Limited receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we’re entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
