Screams of delight when the Chinese Lion Dance team from Bristol University came to perform. Too numerous to mention, but highlights for us include:Īn EPIC messy play session with Colourful Minds that we all loved but afterwards said "maybe slightly less mess next time" The companies, artists and organisations who hired us. We are very proud of what we achieved at Creative Workspace, and thank everyone who supported us. In April 2020 we made the very difficult decision to leave this project behind. But unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic made the possibility of us continuing impossible. This was just starting to change in 2020. Most of the time there were just two of us taking the bulk of the work, from funding applications to programming, marketing events, staffing the cafe and sometimes facilitating events. We did all this and very rarely took any kind of remuneration for our work. A little boy aged three discovered for the first time at Creative Workspace was a paintbrush was, and painted for three hours solid. We exhibited photography by Bristol University students and artwork by local artists.

We had a film licence and did relaxed family film screenings. Other youth organisations including the hospital tutor used us as a hub to support local young people. We provided employment for local people in the cafe, and provided volunteering opportunities for local people too. We provided work experience for local Year 10 students.
