Create Collective CIC
Create Collective CIC was set up in order to bring sections of the community together or benefit hard to reach sectors of the community through the medium of art and craft projects. For example the first project undertaken is "trauma teddies".
Elderly people knit woollen teddies that are gifted to Sandwell Police who give them to children who have been victims of crime, or who are vulnerable. It gives the elderly a sense of purpose and breaks down barriers between the young and the police force. Another project, also with Sandwell police is "Choices". A choose your own adventure book written and illustrated specifically to reduce knife crime, youth exploitation and youth violence by highlighting the pitfalls of falling in with the wrong crowd during year 6-7 transition. A scheme of work goes with the books to allow schools to maximise the potential of the choices books within their PSHE lessons.
Future projects will include donating laser cut plain wooden jigsaws of classic cars, tractors and spitfires to schools. The art students paint the jigsaws and pass them on to care homes for the elderly with reduced dexterity or with dementia to use. These consist of 6 - 8 pieces so they are age and ability appropriate.
