Creative Pathways - Creation Station
Creative Pathways, known as Creation Station to our participants, is a hoot creative arts programme designed for adults aged 18 or over with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism.
Creative Pathways offers a range of free creative activities aimed at empowering individuals to express themselves, develop new skills, and enhance their overall well-being. Sessions are held in residential settings and community locations across Kirklees. Participants can join with or without a support worker. Each session is facilitated by an Artist and a hoot Creative Support Worker to assist participants in accessing their creativity.
No prior artistic experience is needed to join. If you are interested in being creative and learning new skills in a friendly and supportive environment, Creative Pathways is for you. Participants in Creative Pathways engage in diverse and enriching creative activities designed to inspire and develop artistic skills. Whether through music, visual arts, dance or other creative forms, our programme provides opportunities for personal expression and social connection.

Creative Pathways 2018 - 2021
From 2018 - 2021 Creative Pathways worked with people experiencing enduring mental health needs in supported housing or hospital settings, including work with people with learning disabilities.
We developed a residency programme, where hoot artists worked with settings to support the improved wellbeing of their residents through creative activity. Through the programme, residents at various settings developed social bonds through shared experience, which in turn has supported people to form friendships, alongside participation in the creative activities themselves improving wellbeing. As residencies developed we encouraged volunteering from residents to support the delivery as a means of progression.
Workshops took place in a traditional face to face style within Kirklees and the surrounding area, or at a distance using our pioneering face to face remote methodology – deliver ingover 35 workshops during the Covid 19 pandemic when the doors of our partner organisations were closed to external visitors.
