Who are we
We provide spaces for people to connect through creativity, believing that mindful creativity is an underutilised wellbeing tool that should be accessible to all. With expertise in supporting women with complex needs, we create welcoming, safe spaces for creative exploration. We offer workshops, one-off events, and dedicated creative spaces in Waterlooville, Havant, Portsmouth, and other parts of Hampshire. Creatful is a social enterprise – that means whatever money we make from our workshops goes straight back into delivering more for our community.

WHAT WE DO
We use creativity as a tool for healing, connection and empowerment. From weekly workshops to community events, our work supports people facing some of life’s toughest challenges — including addiction, isolation, homelessness and mental health struggles. With the help of our volunteers, we hold space for thousands of individuals to connect and create across Portsmouth and the South East.

Whats On
There’s always something happening at Creatful. From weekly creative groups to one-off events, we bring people together and make a real difference. You’ll also find community projects, exhibitions, and fundraising events throughout the year — there’s always something to explore. Take a look at what’s coming up and come be part of it. We know joining something new can feel daunting. If you’d like support — whether it’s being met outside, paired with a friendly volunteer, or just having someone to talk to beforehand — we’re here to help.
