Hello, we’re Create Paisley! We’re an arts charity working with young people in Renfrewshire, using creativity to change lives and support good mental health.
We create safe, welcoming spaces. We run weekly arts-based sessions that tackle isolation, anxiety and disadvantage.

A weekly after-school club for young people in P5-P7, with Active Communities.
Station Seven
Youth-led initiative for young people aged 12-21 who want to make a difference in their community.
FYF Charity Hub
A weekly lunchtime arts and crafts group for all Castlehead pupils (Wednesdays).
Our Young Volunteers programme focuses on leadership and empowerment, encouraging young people to have more of a say in how Create Paisley runs.

“I think these sessions are great at inspiring creativity, allowing people to co-operate, make friends and help others”

“I would love to be part of a youth council. I have so many fun ideas.”
“The session was great! That is the most that these pupils have been engaged in an activity in this class!”
“I loved creating these characters. I’d really like to animate them and give them voices!”
We couldn’t do what we do without an amazing network of community partners, extending our reach and complementing our skills.

Today we are launching our brand new website, and we couldn’t be more excited.
We’re delighted to announce that we have received a grant from the National Lottery’s Awards for All programme.
