🎨💚 CREATIVE MINDS, BRIGHTER COMMUNITIES! 💚🎨

Sometimes, all we need is a little colour, a creative space and the freedom to express ourselves. 🖌️✨

At Floating Counselling Community, our creative arts session brought people together to paint, explore their imagination, try something new and create their own beautiful, personalised tote bags.

But it was about so much more than painting a bag! ❤️

It was about:
🎨 Creativity – discovering and expressing our artistic side.

💚 Wellbeing – making time to relax, unwind and enjoy the moment.

🌍 Inclusion – creating a welcoming space where everyone could participate, regardless of their artistic experience.

🤝 Connection – bringing people together, encouraging conversations and building relationships.

✨ Confidence – discovering new skills and feeling proud of what we created.

🌱 Self-expression – using colour, patterns and art to communicate in our own unique ways.

The feedback was a beautiful reminder of why accessible creative opportunities matter. Participants shared how enjoyable and therapeutic they found the experience and expressed their appreciation for the welcoming, supportive environment.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who participated, and special appreciation to Celestina Oniye-Thomas, Founder and Lead Psychotherapist, and Coach Elizabeth for facilitating such an engaging and inspiring session. 💚👏

At Floating Community Hub, we believe that access to creativity should not be limited by background, experience or circumstance. Everyone deserves opportunities to explore their potential, develop confidence and experience the joy of taking part in the arts.

We are passionate about creating more opportunities for community arts, creative expression and wellbeing, helping people connect with themselves, with others and with their wider community.

Because art is not just about what we make. It's about how we feel, what we discover and the connections we build along the way. 🎨💚

📣 We want to see more community arts opportunities that are accessible, inclusive and meaningful. Creativity has a place in every community!

💚 SEPTEMBER RECAP

SEPTEMBER AT FLOATING COUNSELLING COMMUNITY 💚🌱

September was another month of bringing people together, creating opportunities and making wellbeing support accessible within the community.

📱 Internet Inclusion at the Floating Community Hub
Our hub continued helping residents build confidence with technology and access the digital world. From using phones and tablets to getting online and learning new skills, digital inclusion is an important part of reducing isolation and improving independence.

🎨 Somatic Healing & Art Therapy
We held our Somatic Healing community art therapy session at Ashburton Park, exploring the connection between our body, emotions and creativity.

Through colour, texture, movement, sensory grounding and creative expression, participants were encouraged to slow down, connect with themselves and explore gentle ways of supporting their wellbeing.

💚 “Pain and healing can coexist.”

🤝🏾 Community Connection
September was also about creating spaces for people to come together, share experiences, get FREE food, Free Hygiene pack, learn from one another and build connections, as well as celebrate one of our elderly regular Elizabeth who turned 82 years young.

We are proud that our work continues to bring together, strengthen wellbeing, practical support, creativity, digital inclusion, monthly health checks, and community connection under one roof.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, facilitated, partnered, donated and supported our work throughout September.

This is community. This is connection. This is Floating 💚

Some meetings stay with you long after you've gone home.

Last Wednesday's Local Community Partnership meeting reminded me why I said yes to becoming Co-Chair. Leadership isn't about a title, it's about listening, creating space for every voice, and turning conversations into real action.

Communities already know what they need. Our job is to listen. I saw that in action as residents, charities, NHS colleagues, funders and Croydon Council officers sat together, and it was beautiful to see two organisations this LCP funda share stories that became funded projects through Floating Counselling Community - thanks NHS - Stop cutting the funding though 🤣

Change doesn't start with big organisations. It starts with one person speaking up, one conversation, one act of courage, a ripple that can change someone's life.

Huge thanks to Croydon Council Andrew Slegg, CROYDON VOLUNTARY ACTION, and everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes. A special thank you to Caroline and Malcolm Gill dignitate for making the day run so smoothly.

Our next Croydon Central East Local Community Partnership Resource Fair is Wednesday 21 October, book via the CVA Eventbrite page, and DM me if you'd like to get involved.

Because real change doesn't happen to communities. It happens with communities.

Recovery doesn't end inward, nor discharge, and neither does our support.💚

At Floating Counselling Community, we have been delivering creative wellbeing sessions across South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) inpatient wards every Monday, Tuesday and Saturday

Our sessions offer more than activities, they create safe spaces for connection, confidence-building, creativity and hope. Through Sip & Paint, jewellery making, pampering and self-care sessions, book clubs, music, movement, gardening and other wellbeing activities, patients have the opportunity to express themselves, learn new skills and experience meaningful moments of joy during their recovery.

What makes our work different is that our support doesn't stop at the ward door.

As a community organisation, we are here before, during and after someone's inpatient journey. We help people build connections that can continue beyond hospital, making it easier to transition back into the community with ongoing support, familiar faces and opportunities to stay engaged.

Recovery is not just about getting through today, it's about knowing there is a community waiting for you when you're ready to take the next step.

We're proud to walk alongside people throughout their journey, helping to reduce isolation, encourage independence and create lasting pathways back into community life.

Creating connection. Inspiring hope. Supporting recovery through community through our Community Hub in Southwark and Croydon ❤️

💙 Happy Father's Day 💙
Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, and father figures who have loved, guided, protected, and supported their families and communities.

We honour the men who show up every day with strength, compassion, wisdom, and sacrifice, often in ways that go unseen.

We also take a moment to remember and honour the fathers who are no longer with us. Though they may have passed on, their love, lessons, legacy, and impact continue to live on in the hearts and lives of those they touched.

To every father:
✨ We see you.
✨ We appreciate you.
✨ We celebrate you.

Thank you for helping build strong families, resilient communities, and brighter futures.

From all of us at Floating Counselling Community and Floating Community Hub, we wish you a Happy Father's Day.
