Supporting young people through art and creativity

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.

Young Volunteers

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
