The Cotton Tree Trust
We have partnered with The Cotton Tree Trust (TCTT), a charity that supports refugees and migrants through both practical legal support and a wellbeing programme called Heal and Grow, which focuses on physical and mental health, connection, and community through regular activities and outings.
From the outset, we felt closely aligned in our shared commitment to social change and belief in the power of care-led, community-focused work. What stood out to us most was the genuine personal attention given to members, from providing essential resources to building trusting, supportive relationships. Through working together and delivering in-person creative workshops, we’ve seen first-hand the warm, welcoming atmosphere that exists between the team and members, and we’ve felt incredibly grateful to be welcomed into their space.
Looking ahead, funds we raise will go towards supporting both TCTT’s legal work and the Heal and Growp rogramme. We’re committed to continuing regular creative workshops with members and are excited to grow this partnership further. If you’d like to donate or get involved, please get in touch, and keep an eye on our website for future updates!
Real Impact.
We’ve been running free creative workshops for members at The Cotton Tree Trust, designed to support wellbeing, self-expression, and community connection. Participants have explored collage poetry, creating layered visual and textual artworks that reflect personal experiences and emotions. In addition, we’ve run mind-mapping art sessions, where participants turned familiar routes and memories into symbolic artworks, sharing their stories through colour, shape, and composition. Each workshop has been collaborative, giving participants space to express themselves, build confidence, and contribute ideas for the future of our partnership.
