Creative Lives is set up to champion community-led creativity and ensure that everyone can take part in creative activity, regardless of background, place or circumstance. We believe that everyday creativity strengthens wellbeing, builds social connection and supports resilient communities. We do this by working directly with grassroots creative groups and volunteers, particularly those who are under-resourced or marginalised. Our work is place-based and includes mapping local creative activity, distributing grants and micro-grants, providing practical support and resources, sharing learning, and raising the profile of community creativity. We work in partnership with local authorities, funders and community organisations to embed sustainable, inclusive creative opportunities.
