Gold Standard

An update from Create

After an incredible 2019, and a restful festive period, we’re so excited to be making 2020 even bigger and better. We have kicked off the New Year with creative arts projects for LGBT+ children and young people and inmates with young families. We also celebrated winning the Young Carers Award at the Children & Young People Awards in November, recognised as the “Gold Standard” for this work.

We talked to Owen about his experiences taking part in Create filmmaking and music workshops in Bath for young carers and about what creativity means to him:

Create Arts UK

“It was really nice to explore making music because I’ve never had the chance to try it out before. Being in this environment with musicians who are friendly and have a laugh with you really encouraged me to try new things and expand my skills and knowledge. Knowing that you’ve created something gives you a nice feeling. I felt a lot of pride when making the soundtrack; pride and a feeling of accomplishment in saying, ‘Yeah, I did that.’”

Also in November and December 2019
