Culture Shift & the Rough Sleepers Initiative

We will be working with Culture Shift and the Rough Sleepers Initiative on the Everyday Creativity Programme commissioned by the East Sussex Public Health Team to explore the impact of creative activities during lockdown on people’s health and wellbeing.

Everyday Creativity is seeking to understand more about how creative activity can help people cope through COVID and has commissioned new activity focused on 5 distinct groups of people and develop practice that can be shared. We will be working with the rough sleeper community in Eastbourne and Hastings.

The ceramic badges with messages of hope were made by one of the rough sleeping community during our pilot project at the Citadel night shelter in January 2020.
