Create Charity

🎅 “The Young Carers made a World in a Box, now when they are having a difficult time, they take out the box and remember something happy.” - Kent Young Carers Through creative projects, young carers and others facing challenges can build lasting memories, form meaningful connections and find tools to support their well-being. 🎁 Your support for our Christmas campaign can help bring more moments of joy and creativity to those who need it most. Together, we can create brighter futures, one creative moment at a time. #ChristmasCampaign #GiftOfCreativity #SupportYoungCarers #MakeADifference

🌟 At Create we see everyday the positive impact the creative arts has on young carers and other vulnerable groups. 🎄 Due to their caring responsibilities, young carers often don't get to relax and enjoy the holidays with everyone else. During the Christmas break, many young carers look after a loved one for more hours than the average work day. ⏰ ✨Access to the creative arts allows them to meet other young people who are experiencing the same thing as them, and build community and friendships through creating together. 🎨 🎁 This Christmas, we invite you to give the gift of creativity, so we can continue bringing the creative arts to those who need it most. 👇 Donate today

🖌️ “When you are creative, you use your brain more and you can see how much more powerful your brain is. It helps you not think about other things… it gives you a break from the world.” – Isaac, 14 For children in care, creativity provides a vital escape – a chance to pause, reflect, and explore their potential in a supportive space. 🌟 Follow the links below to read our recent blog and to donate to our Christmas Campaign.

Last week, to get in the festive spirit, we ran some Christmas-themed projects with our corporate partner, White Stuff  ! The groups made Christmas cards and decorations just in time for the holidays! 🎄✨ Take a look at some of the creations that came out of the event!

Did you know this? 21% of young carers spend more than 11 hours a day caring for a loved one over the Christmas break - a time when many of their peers are relaxing and celebrating. At Create, we understand the incredible challenges young carers face. Through our projects, we help them build confidence, make meaningful connections, and improve their wellbeing, giving them the tools to better cope with their responsibilities. This Christmas, give the gift of creativity and support young carers to find joy and connection. 🌟 Donate today by following the link below! #YoungCarers #GiveTheGiftOfCreativity #CreativityForWellbeing

Some lovely pictures from our recent creative:voices project in partnership with Carers' Hub Lambeth, where participants built connections and empowerment through group singing! ✨🗣️ This project was funded by The Smiles Fund, awarding funds from Walkers and Comic Relief

🎭 Creativity offers children in care more than just a hobby – it’s a path to confidence, connection, and self-expression. Our projects inspire young people to discover their potential, develop resilience, and feel part of a community. “Everyone’s style was different… we just had fun, worked together, and made the time more enjoyable.” – Isaac, 14 💝 This Christmas, help us bring creativity to those who need it most.

Our recent art:links project in Southwark brought older adults together to explore visual arts and printmaking 🎨✨ Thank you to our funders The Mercers' Company and City Bridge Foundation

Did you know? 💡 1 in 10 older adults expect to have no conversations at all over the festive period. ❄️ But 82% of participants in creative arts programmes say it helps them feel socially connected. 🌟 🎨Engaging in creative arts is about more than making something beautiful - it's about forging connections and building relationships that last. Through our workshops, participants develop not only new skills but also meaningful friendships that can brighten their lives long after the sessions end. ✨ 🎄This holiday season, give the gift of creativity and support Create, so we can continue bringing the creative arts to those who need it most. 🎁 Donate below! #CreativityForConnection #BuildingRelationships #EndLoneliness #PeopleNeedToCreate
