Creative Recovery

Creative Recovery People are at the heart of what we do. We use a person-centred approach to create safe spaces, where people can flourish.

Creative Recovery is a people-led charity that uses creativity to support recovery, boost wellbeing and bring about social change in Barnsley.We work with individuals and families with experience of mental health and/or drug and alcohol issues. Creative Recovery is a small grassroots charity, driven by a community of people with lived experience of using creativity to support their own health and

wellbeing and to make positive change. We draw on a collective of artists and practitioners with broad and extensive experience of working across arts/culture/health and wellbeing. We are also keen collaborators, and enjoy working with partners that share our values, passion and who aren't afraid to try something new.

Ever thought about joining a choir but talked yourself out of it?
At Uplift Choir, nobody cares if you’ve never sung before, can’t read music, or think you’re “not good enough”.

We just enjoy singing together, having a laugh and getting out of the house for a couple of hours!

📍 St Paul’s Church Hall (off Greenfoot Lane)
🕑 Thursdays 2–4pm
💛 Free (donations welcome)

Tea, biscuits and friendly faces included ☕🍪
Just come along - you’ll fit right in 😊

A few snaps from a wonderful ‘Voices Blooming’ NT Wentworth Castle Gardens on Saturday. The UPLIFT Choir sang their socks off!

Amazing feedback for tonight’s session with Helen from Zenith Digital Accountants Ltd at Barnsley Civic’s monthly Creative Social.

“I feel much less anxious now about my finances”.

Lots of question from the audience of creative freelancers around getting ready for ‘Making Tax Digital’ and what can and can’t be claimed as expenses.

This session was part of a collaboration between Creative Recovery, Barnsley Civic and CHWA. Funded through BMBC public health. The Creative Health Practitioner Programme aims to support Barnsley Artists with an interest in creative health. Loads more sessions to come! Check out the programme below.
