Create to Connect

COVID-19 presented sudden and unexpected challenges that many of us have never had to navigate before. Scary times often make us want to retreat but our recent data shows that when we create it can be an opening up for connection and can significantly improve our mental health and wellbeing. We have been working to support our growing community with these programmes, designed to keep us connected, curious and creative in uncertain times.

We ran Create to Connect in May, but you can take part all year round! Here, you can download the free tailored activity pack to help you engage your communities (workplaces, students, families, service users, groups, neighbours…) in the challenges – online and offline.
