CHAI Team
At the heart of Chai is a passionate and skilled team of diverse facilitators, director, and coordinator who bring a rich mix of experiences to every session. With backgrounds in creative arts, social care, youth and community work, and women’s support services, the Chai Team is deeply committed to creating inclusive, welcoming spaces for women and families.
Our facilitators are experienced in planning and delivering creative sessions that use a range of approaches—including arts and crafts, drama, mixed media, paper crafts, hamper-making and 3D projects—within community settings that support connection, self-expression, and wellbeing. Their expertise in mental health and wellbeing ensures this is at the core of our sessions. Our experience includes working with adult groups and children’s groups, and also putting together seminar’s, training, charity and celebration events.
Safe & Supportive Space
The team is particularly attuned to promoting safe, supportive spaces where meaningful and often stigmatised topics can be explored without judgement. Their backgrounds span community development, youth work, equality advocacy, access to services for marginalised groups, and grassroots community initiatives such as walking groups and food banks. Drawing on therapeutic insight within the team, the director, coordinator, and facilitators work collaboratively to ensure Chai sessions are both creatively engaging and emotionally supportive—offering care, community, and connection to all who take part.
