Project title

Community Programme

Description of initiative

Community Programme provides people with disabilities, health issues and those who are isolated with meaningful and long-term opportunities to increase their confidence and improve their health through their interest in art. It offers a supportive and welcoming environment to ensure everyone feels comfortable and able to express creativity in whatever way they like. Whether it’s learning a new technique, working on personal art projects, or talking about art in a friendly and supportive environment there is a way to be involved. We encourage and support individuals to access our opportunities in a way that best suits them.
