How people used to find their soul food
Our communities have a long and rich history of using arts, sport and other leisure activities to enhance their lives. Pictures of Miners Welfare, Allotments, Brass Bands etc.
Talking, Listening and co-production
- Continued desire from service users and carers to be able to use more creative approaches to support their wellbeing
- Workshops held across the Trust to service users/carers, staff and community partners together to co-produce the strategy
- Creativity is a Universal language- Passion and Soul
Involving People
Workshops- What service users said
“Positive sense of achievement, increased self-esteem and independence, confidence and empowerment.”
“Development of new skills and abilities and opportunities perform or exhibit achievements to the wider public.”
“ Structured activity that offers purpose, meaning and routine and a diversion from problems.”
Involving People
Workshops- what staff said “Creative approaches are an effective way of engaging with people, especially where more traditional methods of engagement fail, and routinely as an exemplar of a holistic, user-centred approach.”
“It produces good outcomes for service users, with measurable benefits in self-esteem, self-expression, social inclusion, vocational skills and personal resilience.”
Our Mission
“Enabling people to reach their potential and live well in their community.”
So, what is Creative Minds?
A Philosophy….“ If You give a man a fish he will eat that day. If you give a man a rod and teach him how to fish he will eat for the rest of his life” “If you help a person to find their passion it can help them maintain their mental health and wellbeing for life.” Creative Minds
Mechanism to support what people want to doLife affirmingReflective of the person inside Restoring hope, meaning and purpose
Broad definition of Creativity
In order to reflect our community we used a broad definition of creativity that includes arts, music, drama, photography, sports, crafts and other leisure activities.
We wanted to rediscover the inherent creativity in our communities but reflect that it is now more diverse (attitude, religion, social class, expectation ……..)

A National Charter for Arts, Health and Wellbeing

we create together
We need to ensure that humanity and compassion is at the heart of healthcare.
“The ultimate aim should be to generate compassionate environments in which patient and practitioner alike are encouraged to engage for mutual benefit. Patients should not have to be treated amid management-dominated cultures that lead to compassion fatigue and moral slide.”(Professor Paul Crawford 2013) Through Creative Minds we play in the same football team, paint in the same art class and therefore develop different relationships
