Create: Transforming Lives Through the Creative Arts

Create believes that everyone deserves the chance to fulfill their potential. The London-based charity uses the power of the creative arts to help the UK's most disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals develop creativity, social skills, learning, and self-esteem. Create mostly works with community partners that understand the locality and know where assistance is needed the most. The non-profit focuses on seven priority groups – young patients, young and adult carers, schoolchildren and teachers in underserved areas, disabled children and adults, young and adult offenders, marginalized children and adults, and vulnerable older people.

In addition to working extensively across London and the South, Create has delivered projects as far as Derby, Manchester, and Glasgow. Each project is designed to give participants a sense of self-worth and some programs bring different groups together to break down barriers and foster shared understanding. Create's programs are delivered by exceptional artists who are professionals in their field, passionate about their art form, and genuinely care about people.
