Expression of Interest

Creative expression workshops with WayMakers at StudioKIND
Thank you for your interest in this!

It is a project for neurodivergent young people who want space to explore creativity, try new things, and connect with others in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Sessions will take place on Tuesday evenings (4.45 - 6.15pm) in Barnstaple, starting on 13 Jan until 21 Apr 2026.

We will welcome a small group of 8–10 young people. If we receive more enquiries than we have space for, we'll identify those who meet our project brief most closely.

No experience is necessary - just curiosity and willingness to explore your creativity!

This form helps us get to know you a little better, understand what you’re looking for, and make sure the project is a good fit.

There are no right or wrong answers - just share whatever feels comfortable. Feel free to leave anything blank that doesn’t apply to you.

Thank you!
