Facilitating creative connection, amplifying indie voices, and supporting meaningful causes.
The Kindred Creativity Club was created to bring creatives and communities together in ways that are intentional, inclusive, and values-led.
When I first began this journey, I imagined a close-knit space where readers and authors could connect, indie creatives could shine, and creativity could be used to support meaningful causes. Over time, that vision grew beyond the book world alone.
As I began connecting with a wider range of creatives — artists, designers, musicians, performers, and makers across many disciplines — it became clear that creativity doesn’t belong to a single medium. It thrives wherever people are making, sharing, and using their voices to do good in the world.
And so, the Kindred Book Club evolved into the Kindred Creativity Club.
Today, KCC operates as a creative facilitation and advocacy space. Its work centres on three core activities: creating opportunities for creatives to contribute to charitable causes through their work, amplifying indie creatives through structured spotlights and events, and intentionally highlighting marginalised voices within creative communities.
At its heart, Kindred Creativity Club exists to support connection, care, and collective impact. Whether through fundraising initiatives, advocacy-focused events, or gentle community-led projects, the aim is always the same — to create spaces where creativity is valued, voices are heard, and meaningful causes are supported with integrity and intention.
About The Founder
For Clare, storytelling has always been sacred — a space of wonder, connection, and quiet rebellion. As a queer, neurodivergent creative, they approach their work with an open heart and a justice-driven lens, often centring themes of chosen family, healing, and hope.
The Kindred Creativity Club grew from that same ethos: a desire to create a welcoming, values-led space where creativity can be a force for connection, advocacy, and care. From indie authors to visual artists, musicians to makers, Clare is passionate about uplifting marginalised voices and using creative platforms to support meaningful causes.
Based in the West Midlands, UK, Clare lives with their spouse and two children. When not writing or working on the Kindred Creativity Club, they can usually be found gaming, watching cosy TV shows, or crafting something handmade and heartfelt.
Through the Kindred Creativity Club, Clare aims to facilitate connection, celebrate community, and gently remind creatives everywhere: your voice matters, and you’re not alone.
