About Us
Creative Croydon CIC is a not for profit community arts organisation all about inclusive music for wellbeing.
We offer:
- singing and nature based services
- training and development for community musicians
- reflective mentoring (individual and group) to creatives working for community benefit
- creative menopause diversity and awareness services
Our micro-local reflective practices often connect with land and environment, and with issues of social justice and equity for all. Creative Croydon works in and around South London, and sometimes further afield, by invitation or commission.
You can take a look at our past work, since 1997 here.
Nature and wellbeing
We offer a range of services relating to menopause transition, carers and ageing well.
