It’s disappointing, though not unexpected. But we know creative expression can play a vital role in rehabilitation — we’ve seen the difference it makes. There’s hope, and we’re ready to act. Watch this space. ✊🏼

Welcome to New Leaf Creative Studio CIC 🌿 — a community interest company based in Wigan, dedicated to providing men with a safe and supportive space to explore the power of creativity.
🌱Our work focuses on supporting men who are rebuilding their lives after prison or whilst on probation, as well as those facing challenges with their mental health or recovery from addiction.
🌱Through creative practices such as drawing, painting, sculpture, and printmaking, we aim to improve wellbeing, foster self-expression, and build a strong sense of community.
✨ We are currently in the process of establishing the studio — stay connected for updates as we prepare to launch this exciting new initiative.
✨ New Leaf Creative Studio CIC is led by Robyn and Jane, who bring over 30 years of combined experience in the arts and creative fields. Both are passionate about making a difference and believe that art is a powerful tool for healing, personal growth, and building stronger mental health.
