creativeShift provides Arts on Referral programmes and projects aimed at promoting and protecting Health & Wellbeing through creativity.

Sessions are for anyone wanting to improve their wellbeing and social interaction and are particularly beneficial for people who are socially isolated, suffering from stress, with low mood or depression, coping with pain, facing loss or change. 

No previous arts experience is necessary. These relaxed and friendly group art sessions, led by an experienced creativeShift artist facilitator, focus on creativity and wellbeing. Participants come along to explore and develop their own creativity and learn new skills at their own pace. 

Our referral groups take place during school term times across Bristol.

 Please note: Unfortunately we will be pausing our groups in the North and Central after October due to funding shortfalls.

We hope to resume as soon as further funding can be found.
If you would like to refer someone to one of these areas, please complete the online referral form
and a member of the team will signpost alternatives and keep you up to date. *
