Who we are
Orange Collective is a community of artists, creative arts therapists, arts in health practitioners, therapists, educators & youth workers. It was established at the beginning of 2022 by Branwen, an artist and Polly, a therapist. Both are passionate about creative therapeutic approaches to health and wellbeing. They set up Orange Collective to support both artists and therapists working in the wellbeing sector.
Orange Collective aims to increase access to high quality, trauma-informed practice for arts in health & wellbeing.
