Creative Communities Creating Change
Supporting community-based wellbeing through powerful, preventative and creative intervention.
Creative Communities Creating Change (4Cs) is a new Creative Health programme which has been funded for 3 years to support young people aged 11–19 and parents and carers across Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham and Croydon. Launching in April 2026, the programme is based at Raw Material’s community hub in Brixton and combines creative practice, community-based support and evidence-informed wellbeing approaches.
The programme responds to the growing need for accessible, community-based mental health and wellbeing support for young people and families.
4Cs is delivered through three connected strands:
Creative programmes for young people
Support for parents and carers
A participatory research project reimagining mental health support
Together these strands aim to improve mental, emotional and social wellbeing, strengthen social connections and support sustained engagement in arts and culture.
4Cs is delivered through a partnership between Raw Material, NHS DISCOVER, NHS EPEC (Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities), Tony Cealy and London Arts and Health.
