Gloucester Cathedral is an extraordinary space. 

Many are inspired by the art and architecture of this special place and much of their community engagement programme centres on sharing arts based activities that promote wellbeing, build skills and inspire learning. 

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Gloucester Cathedral to create a branding framework, look and feel and initial workbook, along with a wider range of resources designed to provide accessible, guided, creative activities for a varied range of interests and abilities, downloaded for free, from the Cathedral’s website.

All content for this initial Guide to Drawing was created by talented Artists Adam Davis. Adam is passionate about the positive impact of art on physical and mental health and has previously collaborated with Gloucester Cathedral to curate and display Ever-Present, an exhibition of artwork by talented Gloucester based graduates, and accompanying workshops in 2019.

During 2021 we hope to develop this branding framework for further initiatives and projects. Watch this space.

Today is National Young Carers Awareness Day 2020, a day to acknowledge the challenges faced by young carers and campaign for greater support for them.

Over the last 2 years we have helped Gloucestershire Young Carers raise awareness; reinvigorating their brand and supporting communications to create a strong message. 

Today is a significant day for the charity and we’ve worked with them to produce a range of promotional posters and promotional literature.

This is a great charity doing great work. Let’s all get behind it!

We are delighted to be approached by Park Farm and Bath Soft Cheese to help them with communications from 2020.

Park Farm, Kelston near Bath is a wonderful place, producing award-winning organic cheese made by hand, with milk from their own cows.

The current range of cheeses include the historic Bath Soft Cheese, Wyfe of Bath, the Merry Wyfe and the World Champion Bath Blue Cheese.

Initially we will be designing promotional literature and a trade stand. Watch this space.

This Summer, Lost & Found Creative have been supporting Dorset County Council and Dorset Libraries to promote these very special places as Cultural Hubs.

Communications promote the new branding style and include event programmes and posters, and event literature.

The Power of Polo is a new and unique, national charity.  Their mission is to positively impact the lives of anyone facing social, economic or health challenges, utilising the sport of polo.

Their strap line ‘change your line’ refers to how this sport can help you to change the direction in your life and is taken from the most important rule of the game – the line of the ball.

This month Katy Haywood, Marketing Manager approached Lost & Found to create a promotional leaflet for 2019 Summer events. We were happy to help her, pro bono and support this great cause.
