CareYourWay Launches Creative Cafés and At-Home Craft Experiences Nationwide!

A New Chapter Unfolds

CareYourWay has announced the launch of Creative Cafés, a new initiative designed to bring creativity, connection and shared experiences to people receiving care across its growing network in the UK.

Created in partnership with The Creation Station, the programme offers both in-person creative sessions and at-home craft activities, all provided free of charge. It marks an important milestone, making CareYourWay the first home care franchise in the UK to formally integrate Creation Station-led creative activities into its care model.

CareYourWay is a family-founded home care provider that has grown into a national network, focused on delivering personalised care that helps people live well at home. The Creation Station is widely recognised for using creativity to support wellbeing and connection across communities.

This partnership brings those two approaches together in a natural and meaningful way.

Where It All Began

The partnership began in summer 2025, when CareYourWay founder Sarah Sabater met Sarah Cressall and discovered a shared passion for supporting people and strengthening communities.

What began as an initial conversation soon evolved into a shared vision to bring creativity into care. Planning continued throughout the autumn, with growing interest across the CareYourWay network.

Bringing the Vision to Life

Following months of planning, the initiative came to life on 31st March at a special launch event in South Devon, home to CareYourWay’s flagship office.

Clients, carers and the local team came together to enjoy a day of creativity, live music and shared moments, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that encouraged conversation and connection. Attendees created pieces to take home, making the experience both enjoyable and meaningful.

The event marked the beginning of a wider journey as Creative Cafés begin to take shape across the network.

Creativity, Connection and Community

At the heart of Creative Cafés is a simple belief: creativity brings people together.

Clients across the CareYourWay network will be invited to attend welcoming, in-person sessions led by trained Creation Station leaders. Held in community settings, these sessions bring together clients, carers and local teams, creating opportunities for shared experiences and genuine connection.

Activities will range from seasonal crafts to more personal projects, offering clients a chance to express themselves, stay engaged and experience a sense of achievement.

All sessions are free for CareYourWay clients. For those who prefer to take part at home, creative craft packs will also be available, including all materials and guidance needed to enjoy meaningful activities in a familiar environment. Sessions will evolve throughout the year, reflecting different seasons and occasions.

A Shared Vision for Better Care

Sarah Sabater, Founder of CareYourWay, said:

At CareYourWay, we have always believed that great care is about more than meeting practical needs; it’s about creating moments of joy, connection and purpose.

This partnership with The Creation Station brings something truly special to the people we support. Creative Cafés will open up new opportunities for our clients to come together, express themselves and feel part of something meaningful, whether that’s in a local setting or from the comfort of their own home.

As we roll this out across our network, I’m incredibly excited to see the positive impact it will have in communities nationwide.

Sarah Cressall, Founder of The Creation Station, added:

Creativity is such a powerful way to connect people, spark joy and support wellbeing. Partnering with CareYourWay allows us to bring those benefits to even more people in a truly meaningful way.

From the very first conversation, it was clear that we shared the same values and passion for making a difference. Seeing this come to life has been incredibly special, and we’re excited to see Creative Cafés grow across the network.

Looking Ahead

Following the successful launch, Creative Cafés will roll out across the CareYourWay network throughout spring 2026, reaching communities through each local office.

This marks an important step in CareYourWay’s ongoing mission to combat loneliness, strengthen communities and provide care that goes beyond the everyday.

As the initiative expands nationwide, Creative Cafés will bring people together across the UK, one conversation, one creation and one community at a time.
