Creative Express

Creative Express

Creative Express uses creativity to support health and wellbeing. Services includes one-to-ones, groupwork and outreach.

It provides emotionally safe spaces where young people can creatively express their thoughts, feelings and ideas in relation to their own and others health and wellbeing. It does this through the use of various mediums including poetry, painting, collage, creative writing.

Themes for exploration are negotiated with young people, as is the creative medium that we use to explore them.

Previous outreach has included sessions at The Citadel Youth Centre, Pilton Youth & Children Project,  The Ripple Project, The Jack Kane Centre, Leith Library, local secondary schools and attending events like Edinburgh Pride Youth Space.

This work is funded by Robertson Trust and small grants each year. We give thanks to them for their going support.
