Empowering lives through the creative arts
Create is a multi-award-winning charity empowering lives and reducing isolation through the creative arts.
Our nationwide creative workshops offer children and adults facing challenges in their lives the opportunity to express themselves, boost their wellbeing, and forge meaningful connections through creativity.
Our programmes reach out to those who need the creative arts the most, making a tangible difference in their lives. We’ve seen first-hand how creativity can combat loneliness among older adults, improve the mental health of young people, or enhance the wellbeing of carers — our projects are designed to connect, empower and inspire.
