We’re Raspberry Creatives—a small but mighty team of artists, play workers & creatives who believe in the power of creativity to change lives.
Our vision is simple: a world where everyone has access to creative spaces, meaningful opportunities & a sense of belonging.
We believe we have to be the change we want to see and what we want to see are more compassionate, inclusive, creative and cohesive communities where everyone is valued and supported to become more confident, empowered and resilient.
In just two years, we’ve reached over 10,000 people through our events, projects & workshops.
We’ve worked in over 20 venues across South Wales, including some of the most isolated and deprived communities.
Transport is a huge barrier for many people we support—so we go to them.
Our holiday playschemes support over 700 children and young people from a wide range of backgrounds.
Our permanent home, The Art Space, is now 8 months old and runs 20+ regular creative activities for all ages, interests & abilities.
We’ve created over 30 volunteering, training & paid opportunities, including for young people who are NEET, adults with disabilities & those facing barriers to work.
We’re proud to have collaborated with 35 amazing partners—from local businesses to national services.
We support and showcase 30+ local artists and crafters, helping them teach, sell, and grow their creative careers.
How we’ll use your support:
To grow our weekly sessions so we can reach more people
To support more volunteers & create more jobs for those who need them most
To upgrade equipment & buy more materials to keep our sessions inclusive & accessible
To take creativity out into new communities, reaching those who can’t travel to us
To celebrate & platform even more local creatives through exhibitions, events & mentoring
To develop our sustainable, replicable model of community engagement and make a long term difference to individuals and communities
