Creative Kin is a three-year project (2020 – 2023) bringing together artists and kinship families in North Ayrshire.
We deliver creative sessions for young children and their kinship families, creating magical, joyful and energising experiences through art and imaginative play.
We are currently offering a variety of ways to support creativity at home:
- Creative Kin is bringing three socially distanced doorstep performances to families with wee ones aged 0-5 years. Take a sneak peek at our most recent performance, our Doorstep Jukebox!
- Activity packs delivered to your door inspired by the performance to continue the creativity and fun at home.
- Videos and ideas for creative play digitally, through our Facebook group.
Family Fun days in North Ayrshire
We will be holding three Family Fun days in North Ayrshire during the Summer, the first one on Saturday 12th June. Watch this space for more information!
This project builds on Creative Kin 2017-19, which showed that this approach has a positive impact on the relationships between kinship carers and the children they care for.
Creative Kin is delivered in partnership with Children 1st and North Ayrshire Council, funded by The National Lottery Improving Lives, The RS Macdonald Charitable Trust, and Scottish Power Foundation.
