Last month, older adults took part in our art:links project in Manchester, exploring visual art and creating festive decorations together. 🌟

Funded by The Headley Trust. 🌎

Exploring space and place: new arts project connecting people in Northfield In Northfield, the Redeemer Church’s arts and wellbeing programme sparked the Space and Place Project, blending creativity with geography to explore how places shape identity and memory. Over six weeks, participants of all ages shared food, stories, and artistic expression, creating personal artworks inspired by locations ranging from Barcelona to Oddingley Hall. The project fostered confidence, connection, and new friendships, showing the power of creativity to bring people together.

From Hogwarts to Oddingley Hall, participants shared their meaningful places through art. A true celebration of imagination, connection, and wellbeing. 🌍💛 #ArtsForWellbeing

Looking forward to giving a talk about Love, Hope and Empowerment in Care at #ForresLibrary on Nov 6th at 7pm (Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival Moray organised by #ARTSforwellbeing)
In challenging times, how can we stay compassionate without burning out? Join me for an inspiring session ❤️

#CarersWeek #LonelinessAwarenessWeek #AdultCarers #ArtsForWellbeing #CreativeConnection

HOW CREATIVITY SUPPORTS CONFIDENCE, CONNECTION AND CURIOSITY, NO MATTER YOUR AGE As we grow older, life can become increasingly isolating - especially when facing age-related challenges, loss of a loved one or the impact of illness. Creative expression offers something powerful: a way to connect, to be seen, and to rediscover parts of ourselves that we may have lost.

In our latest blog, older adults share how drama, sculpture and collage helped them reconnect, recharge and rediscover joy through our art:links programme.

🧠❤️ On #WorldHealthDay we’re celebrating the vital role that creativity plays in supporting health and wellbeing.

Because health isn’t just physical - it’s emotional, mental and social too. And creativity can be a powerful part of that journey.

Roksolana is a professional artist from Ukraine and this workshop has been made possible through Anya at Durham City of Sanctuary

It's important to remember why support for young carers is SO vital. 💡 Alongside missing school, many young carers experience isolation and mental ill health. 🧠 At Create, we support young carers through creative arts projects. 🌈

🎨 Last month, participants in our art:links programme explored textiles painting together - with one participant sharing:
"I tend to close down and shut myself away, but I've found I’ve been much more outgoing [since doing this project]!” ✨
