Create:Connect

Create:Connect is a regular programme of creative courses open to people who feel being creative would support them to better manage their mental health. 

We offer a safe and supportive space for you to do your best work and develop your creative-self, and no previous experience is needed.
 
Taught by professional artists, with a focus on learning new skills, having fun, meeting new people and developing your creativity.


We run three terms a year, offering opportunities in visual arts, theatre, writing and more! 

They take place in Poole, Bournemouth and Online.

We accept both self-referral or supported referrals,  and we are happy to talk about any access needs you may have, and how we can support you best.
