Our Community is a supportive, inclusive network where people across the creative industries can connect, share experiences, and access structured mental health and wellbeing support
Working in the creative industries can be deeply rewarding — but it can also be isolating, precarious, and emotionally demanding. Long hours, job insecurity, constant pressure to perform, and a culture that often rewards overwork can make it difficult to stay connected or to prioritise your own wellbeing.
The Creative Industries Community exists to change that. It is a supportive, inclusive network where people can connect, share experiences and access mental health and wellbeing support that understands the unique challenges of working in this industry.
At its heart, this is a community built on connection. Alongside spaces to meet and talk with peers, members can access workshops, talks, and events, peer support groups, mental health and wellbeing surgeries, activities such as breath work classes and yoga, and more, all designed specifically for the creative sector.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult period, seeking to build a more sustainable way of living and working, or simply want to feel less alone, the Community offers support at different levels, in ways that feel accessible, respectful and human.
There’s no expectation to be “struggling” to join. Some people come for conversation and belonging, others for structured support — many for both.
Wherever you are based, and whatever stage you are at in your career, the Creative Industries Community offers connection, care, and the reassurance that you do not have to navigate this industry alone.

Our community is built on respect, care, and shared responsibility. We ask all members to engage with one another in a way that is respectful, non-judgemental, and mindful of different experiences. To safeguard the integrity and safety of the space, we reserve the right to moderate discussions and, where necessary, withdraw access.
While the Community provides structured mental health and wellbeing support, it does not replace longer-term, one-to-one counselling or coaching.
Some workshops, groups and events may carry an additional fee and have limited capacity.
