Creative Start

Creative Start Arts In Health CIC are a multi-award winning, lived experience, recovery organisation helping to rebuild the lives of people in recovery and their families.

They promote an abstinence-based peer-support recovery approach, provided by a network of lived-experience volunteers and supporters.

They run community art projects and restore safe, creative workspaces throughout Grimsby and Cleethorpes designed to inspire creativity and build a community dedicated to reducing the stigma of addiction that many experience in their daily lives.

Co-creation and collaboration

Creative Start work from a recovery-focused, lived-experience approach. Because of this, they only accept self-referrals.

They believe recovery begins with choice, agency, and willingness. For that reason, they ask that individuals contact them themselves, rather than being referred on their behalf by another service.

If you’re interested in what Creative Start do, the best way to start is to:

Call directly, or attend one of their open meetings every Monday at 11am at The Comeback, and the recovery 'Eat and Meet' every Thursday between 11am and 3pm at the Great Escape, where anyone can just turn up and ask any questions that might be concerning them.
