Working With Organisations
Supporting organisations to deliver wellbeing support for people navigating change, recovery and emotional overwhelm in community settings.
Introduction to the CREATE Framework
The CREATE Framework is the signature creative wellbeing methodology developed by Life Story Coaching and Wellbeing Gifts CIC.
​
Inspired by the belief that every person has a unique life story, the framework recognises that wellbeing is shaped by our experiences, relationships, communities and the wider social world around us. Drawing on a sociological perspective and using creativity as a practical tool, the CREATE Framework helps people understand where they are, make sense of their experiences and move forward with greater awareness, connection and confidence.
​
Designed for charities, community organisations, CICs and workplaces, the framework provides a structured, creative and engaging approach that can be adapted to meet the needs of different groups and staff teams, while maintaining the same evidence-informed methodology.
The CREATE Framework
​Delivery Options
The CREATE Framework is available in three flexible formats, allowing organisations to choose the approach that best meets the needs of their staff, service users or community.
​
In-Person Programme (Recommended)
The recommended delivery model, offering an immersive and engaging experience through creative activities, discussion, reflection and shared learning. This format provides the greatest opportunity to build trust, strengthen relationships and foster meaningful connection.
​
Hybrid Programme
A blended learning experience combining face-to-face sessions with guided online journalling and reflection.
Typically delivered with an in-person opening and closing session, supported by online sessions between, this format offers flexibility while maintaining the benefits of personal connection and creative exploration.
​
Online Programme
A fully facilitated online programme providing organisations with an accessible way to experience the CREATE Framework wherever participants are based. Sessions combine discussion, reflection and creative activities through journaling in a structured virtual environment.
​
Every CREATE programme can be tailored to the needs of the organisation, while remaining grounded in the same six-stage methodology and commitment to creative wellbeing.
Why Working in Partnership Strengthens Wellbeing
Meaningful wellbeing support doesn't happen in isolation. It is
strongest when organisations work together, combining their
knowledge, relationships and expertise to provide the right
support at the right time.
​
Most organisations I work with are supporting people who are:
-
navigating change and uncertainty
-
rebuilding confidence and resilience
-
ready to move beyond immediate support
-
looking for opportunities to reconnect with themselves and
others
-
benefiting from practical tools that support long-term wellbeing
​
You already know the people and types of communities you support.
The CREATE Framework complements the work you're already doing
by providing a structured, creative approach to wellbeing that helps
people build self-awareness, resilience, connection and practical
life skills.
​
I bring a creativity to wellbeing that focuses on reflection, identity
and emotional processing in a group setting.​ Where people can
actually slow down enough to understand what they’re carrying,
and begin to make sense of it in a supported environment.
​
By working in partnership, we can build on the trust you've already
established, create a more joined-up experience for participants and
make wellbeing a natural part of the support journey rather than an
additional service.
How we can work together
You might be at different stages when you reach out.
​
Sometimes you already have funding in place and you’re looking for a delivery partner. Other times you’re still shaping a bid and need support pulling together the wellbeing element in a way that actually makes sense on the ground.
​
Both are fine. We start from where you are.
​
I can step in as:
-
a delivery partner for funded programmes
-
or a collaborator during funding development, helping shape the wellbeing offer and delivery structure
​​
Either way, the focus is the same: making sure what is proposed is realistic, structured, and actually works for the people it’s meant for.
​​
Where this is most effective
Delivering flexible wellbeing programmes provides depth and ongoing support. You’ll usually find this work sits well within:
​
-
domestic abuse recovery services
-
bereavement and grief support
-
carers wellbeing provision
-
women’s community projects
-
mental health recovery pathways
-
life transition
-
employability support
Anywhere people are moving forward, but still holding a lot from
what came before.
If you’d like to explore working together
If you’re exploring funding or planning delivery, we can look at how a wellbeing offer fits into your project.
That might involve shaping a bid together or moving straight into delivery once funding is in place.
Either way, the aim is simple: support that is realistic, clear and meaningful for the people it reaches.
