Our Story and Our Team
Finding Inspiration in Each Other
This is our team, a growing team of gifted individuals that bring out the best in each other. CreateBolton is their 'happy place' and all would admit to never having had a job like this. Our Team of course includes the growing number of volunteers, without whom, we simply could not do what we do.
Our Story
We are a Christian Charity established formally on 10th July 2013 by our Founder and Lead Artist Joy Kilpatrick. In truth we started with Cafe Create in 2011, running 2 hours every Friday in term-time.
We have been supported by ten different trustees over the years and you can find out more about them further on.
We have a pretty settled range of services that we provide, from a public Cafe, through to dedicated work with people that might identify as being lonely or isolated at the current time.
We have included some recent quotes from people we spend time getting to know.
Meet The Staff Team
“Create found something in me, a way however small to allow me to contribute. I felt valued for the first time in years."
“after I retired from work, I became more insular and as time went on, I was meeting fewer people. Create has given me a new zest for life, new interests, and new friends that I would probably never have known”
"I feel so blessed that Create came into my life when it did, I was so lonely and bereft. I hope my story encourages others to visit or donate to Create’s work - they helped me to live longer and brought me peace and happiness at the end of my life"
