Who are the Creative Living Centre?
We are a forward-thinking mental health charity based in Prestwich, Greater Manchester, making a big difference to our members/service users. We are now recruiting for additional Trustees to join the Board. We’ve been around for more than 27 years, and we offer a wide range of services, including:
- Therapeutic activities including one-to-one emotional support, counselling, and complementary therapies.
- Workshops and courses on wellbeing such as challenging negative thoughts, healthy eating, motivation, stress management and confidence building.
- Peer mentoring providing goal-based support from people with lived experience.
- Creative activities such as arts, crafts, creative writing and singing.
- Physical exercise and wellbeing classes, including gardening, bike riding, boxercise and chair based exercise.
- Social events including warm hubs, breakfast club, the sunshine café or a free meal on Saturdays.
CLC Trustees
Our Trustee recruitment goal is to find good people who have an interest in mental health services and who would like to contribute to the development & continued success of the CLC.
We are looking for people who may be considering taking their first step in a Trustee role or may have been involved with trusteeships previously. In either case, we’ll provide you with the support and training you need to carry out the role. Please note, this is a volunteer role and is unpaid.
