Creative Communities Creating Change
Supporting Youth mental health through powerful, preventative and creative intervention.
Creative Communities Creating Change (4Cs) is a three-year, multi-partner programme supporting 11–19 year olds across Lambeth, Southwark, and Lewisham. Based at Raw Material, 4Cs combines hands-on arts projects with psychotherapeutic early interventions—all delivered within a safe, supportive framework with strong safeguarding.
4Cs puts creativity at the heart of wellbeing. We know it’s not just “fun”—it’s a powerful way to boost confidence, explore identity, build skills, and connect with others. Whether it’s music production, writing, or collaborative arts, every session gives you the chance to express yourself, learn new things, and feel part of a community.
