Arts Project
We believe that creative expression can be instrumental not only in the recovery process from trauma but in exploring identity and having your voice heard. It can also be great fun!
The Rees Foundation Arts Project is an ever evolving, exciting project encouraging anyone with care experience to become involved.

Winter Wellbeing Kits 2025

We know that the winter months can be tough, with shorter days, dark mornings, and long nights making it harder to stay positive. That’s why we’re bringing you our Winter Wellbeing Kits PRIZE DRAW!

Designed to help you get through the season with a little more warmth and comfort, the kits contain a wonderful selection of goodies to help your nominated friend stay cosy and cared for, and to remind them how important it is to take time out of the day to take care of themselves!

Care experienced people can nominate other CEPs to receive a kit, which will be delivered during the festive period.

Deadline: 7th December 2025

To enter, please fill out and submit this form.

This project has been made possible thanks to In Kind Direct, and the National Lottery Awards for All Programme, which has provided funding towards our Everyday People Project. This allows us to run a programme of arts activities over the next year.
