“I wanted to say a huge thank you to Lucy and Jess from Creative Village CIC.
Over the past 4 years they have offered and delivered a wealth of creative groups to our Stepping Stones women’s group and others that have accessed our services to recover from their experiences of violence and abuse.
It was amazing to see the power of creative groups and activities have had in supporting recovery – as well as making them fun and producing some amazing creative pieces that are treasured by those who have taken part in the groups.”
They offered their creative ideas and provided resources to our ME TIME Children and Young Peoples therapy service which have really helped children and young people affected by domestic abuse and trauma use creative resource to explore and understand their experiences and recovery from them.”
“Lucy & Jess at Creative Village have provided workshops for the vulnerable children and young people we work with for a number of years now. The creativity and quality of the workshops are to such a high standard, they never leave us or our groups disappointed. Thank you for working with us again this summer. We look forward to working with you again very soon!”
I have worked with Creative Village for several years as an individual organisation and in Partnership with Eastern Ravens Trust. They have provided very high-quality activities to groups of disadvantaged young people we work with.
They have developed very positive relationships with the young people and have contributed significantly to our programme.
In 2023 Creative Village opened their studio space on Stockton High Street. The studio runs regular weekly workshops including Creative Club (Tuesday evenings), Creative Club Teens (Thursday evenings) and monthly silversmithing, ceramics and paint-a-long workshops.
The studio also offers opportunities for local creatives to use facilities including kiln hire, jewellery bench rental and full studio hire to host workshops/events.
