Company activities and impact

From March 2023, CVC began their delivery of ‘Project-CVC’ with Arts Council England funding, partnering with seven frontline organisations in and around Lambeth: The Baytree Centre, One Housing (Honor Lea Hostel), Groundswell, The Well Centre, South London Refugee Community Centre, Southside Rehabilitation Association, and Mosaic Clubhouse. In each organisation, we conducted a series of nine creative and therapeutic workshops for individuals vulnerable to or suffering from mental health issues. These workshops explored the potential of creativity for therapeutic, expressive, artistic, communicative, and connective purposes, focusing on themes of creativity, mental health, wellbeing, and community. Each workshop series culminated in a co-created pop-up exhibitions open to the public, celebrating and elevating the voices and creations of the participants to foster a broader understanding of mental health and support.

For the financial year the company paid £15,452 to the director Esme Green and £304 to the director Aidah Namugenyi for their services to the company.
