Principles of Bumble Creatives CIC

Bumble Creatives CIC was established to offer Creative Wellbeing Workshops for young people, families, and the wider Bicester community through free and affordable holistic arts-based services. Our mission is to create safe spaces for creativity, skill-building, self-expression, and improved mental health, responding to a growing need for friendly, inclusive, and accessible community activities in Bicester.

Led by a Therapeutic Counsellor/Creative Arts Practitioner, our workshops are designed with a trauma-informed and person-centred approach, supported by a team of DBS checked volunteers. 

Our core aims are to:

• Reduce social isolation and promote community wellbeing through inclusive creativity.
• Provide person-centred workshops facilitated by trained professionals and supported by volunteers.
• Collaborate with local groups and professionals to offer a multidisciplinary approach to community development.
• Deliver evidence-based interventions to help participants unlock their potential.
• Ensure accessibility for people experiencing emotional or mental health challenges, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

As Bicester continues to grow, so does the need for flexible and supportive community resources. Bumble Creatives meets this need by promoting wellbeing, addressing inequalities, and strengthening community connections through creativity.

Bumble Creatives CIC is dedicated to providing inclusive, creative experiences that nurture wellbeing, self-expression, and a sense of belonging across the whole community. Our workshops are open to everyone and designed to remove barriers to participation, supporting connection, confidence, and creativity for all who take part, whatever their circumstances or needs.
