We are...

Rachel Ireland is a musician, songwriter and creative coach. The Creative Map CIC combines Rachel's passions of music, creativity and working with disadvantaged communities. She enjoys developing creative activities for individuals and groups using music, writing and therapeutic art techniques.
Rachel records and releases her own original indie-folk music, co-writes with professional artists and is regularly commissioned to deliver creative workshops on behalf of mental health charities.

Debbie Mann has always had a passion for creative activities - from colouring books as a child, to painting, songwriting and, more recently, jewellery making.
With experience as a stage performer, musician, teaching assistant and care worker she has witnessed first-hand the power of art and its ability to calm, comfort and evoke precious memories. Debbie says, “using colour to create a picture or pattern helps me to express my feelings without words and being part of The Creative Map CIC enables me to continue to help others discover its magic too.”

We can create simply because it
brings us joy, helps us to process
our feelings, to better understand ourselves and, if we choose to,
to share that with others.

This fantastic new course has had all its content and activities tested on a diverse
range of volunteers. This is their direct feedback:
The reflective writing exercises helped to
release some lovely memories for me.
They made me feel positive and happy,
and reminded me of who I really am.
I found the art activities very calming and therapeutic. It took me back to happier times
and put into perspective some of the pressures of day-to-day life.
I still can't believe I wrote a song; something I've wanted to do all my life. It felt wonderful to put some of my favourite memories to music. I can't wait to share it with my family.
