Our Story

How It Felt was born from a simple but powerful idea: that everyone's story matters and deserves to be heard.

Founded in 2015, we began as a small initiative to support people in sharing their experiences through creative expression. What started as informal workshops and friendly chats has grown into an award winning community organisation that uses the arts, film, puppetry and collaborative projects to build connections and promote wellbeing.

At How It Felt we believe that creativity has the power to heal, connect, and inspire positive change. We work with individuals and communities of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, creating safe spaces where people can explore their experiences, develop new skills, and find their voice.

We continue to evolve and expand our reach, always staying true to our core mission of using creativity to support mental health and community wellbeing.
