Our volunteers go above and beyond. Everything they do is done with kindness. From supporting our arts workers and participants in art sessions, fundraising or helping with exhibition preparation; the time they give is immense. They are an integral part of the team, with whom we wouldn't be able to do what we do without their wealth of skills and support.

So, during Volunteers' week, we'd like to say a very big thank you. Thank you to all our volunteers and trustees.THANK YOU for all you do. We massively appreciate you and the time you give us.

If you'd like to find out a little bit more about our charity, and you have a little spare time, however big or small, we'd love to hear from you.
Email [email protected] to find out more.

therapeutic art sessions Creative Response is a therapeutic community arts organisation, supporting people experiencing mental ill-health and with other vulnerabilities.

We are looking for a small number of additional artists to join our team as art workers on a freelance (ad-hoc) basis to help ensure our resilience and allow for our continued growth.

Our main studios are in central Farnham, and we also run a service in Rushmoor, Hampshire and are looking to open new services in other areas of Surrey very soon. Applicants would need to be prepared to work in either location as required. Typically sessions run on a weekday between 10am – 3 pm.
Initially your work with us is likely to be cover for holiday/sickness to ensure our workshops take place for the benefit of our participants and/or supporting us with special workshops or events. But there is the possibility, in the longer term, of a fixed-term or permanent role with us.

If you are a practising artist, (any medium in the visual arts), with an interest in the wellbeing benefits of art and creativity and might like to work with our brilliant team, please send your application (a cover note and CV, maximum of two pages each) to Anna Matthews at [email protected] by 5pm on Monday 15th June.

Interview dates are likely to be week commencing
