A Creative Transformation

“A Creative Transformation” is a UK-based charitable organisation (CIO registration submitted September 2025) supporting adults living with acquired brain injury (ABI) and neurological conditions (NC). Our mission is to empower individuals to live creatively with their conditions through the arts and storytelling, improving wellbeing, social connection, and self-expression.

Our Approach:
– We collaborate with healthcare teams in neurorehabilitation units to provide 6-week creative arts and storytelling programmes.  
– We offer community-based creative sessions across the UK, fostering peer support and creativity for those excluded from medical services.  
– We build and sustain a co-directed network sharing art, stories, and lived experience to educate the public and reduce stigma.

Who We Help:
Adults across the UK, including those with traumatic brain injury, stroke, aphasia, dementia, functional neurological disorders, and related conditions.

What we do:
– We provide a proven model linking creative practice with improved mental and physical health.  
– We address service gaps for a vulnerable population.  
– We build community and public awareness through creative outputs and events.  
– Our organisation is run by experienced trustees and co-created with people with lived experience.
