  • "CoCreate and Bournemouth University have been using creative writing to enhance people’s feelings of wellbeing and improve their mental health. As a prominent arts and health organisation that has long-standing community connections and the trust of its service users, CoCreate is the best possible partner to do this fantastic work."

    Bournemouth University

  • "This session really opened my eyes to the longevity of Creative Health work and how we can learn and challenge systems more by referencing it, learning from it. I came away feeling more empowered to create sustainable and ethical work in this sphere."

    Meg Dunford
    Roses Theatre

  • "During this course, for the first time in my life I felt confident in my ability as an artist. To try and convey what this means to me it is like learning to ride a bike. You try and try and then suddenly you can do it without the apprehension and fear."
