Today is #WorldHealthDay 🌎
Creative activities can support mental & physical health, reduce stress and improve wellbeing - and are even linked to longer life.
Creativity isn’t just something we enjoy. It’s something we need. 🧠
#ArtsForWellbeing #PeopleNeedToCreate
📖 We’re proud to share pages from inside:stories - a picture book created by people in prison for their children and younger family members.
Funded by Christopher and Henry Oldfield Trust, The Edward Cadbury Charitable Trust and William A Cadbury Charitable Trust.
🧠 April is #StressAwarenessMonth.
🌟 At Create, we see this in practice. For many of the people we work with - including young and adult carers - creativity offers something simple but powerful: a chance to pause, reset and focus on themselves.
