During lockdown, it was discovered that young people were using art as a way to escape and express themselves. The Art and Wellbeing Café was created for a way of encouraging young people to return to face to face group activities, we provided an informal accessible space for all children and young people to begin to explore their creativity, rights and increase wellbeing. It was through young people attending the Art and Wellbeing Café that we saw a very clear link between care experienced young people, art and creativity. This then brought about the Art Stops initiative.
