Catherine suffered a breakdown and when isolated and at an all-time low she joined a Creative Future Art group. Through attending she gained skills and confidence and her work was selected for a public exhibition in her local town. With the help of the tutor she applied and was accepted onto a BA (Hons) textile design course. In her own words: "I would not have done this if not for the Creative Future workshops. THANKS!!"

If you would like to help people like Catherine, enabling them to use their creative talents to change their lives, apply to join our board. We are looking for passionate individuals to oversee Creative Future's development into one of the UK's leading organisations for marginalised artists and writers. Applications are particularly welcomed from those with specific expertise in one or more of the following areas: Financial/business expertise, knowledge of the commercial art world, high profile contacts, marketing experience, fundraising knowledge and an understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the not-for-profit sector and/or the arts sector.
