We want to thank everyone for their recent pledges to our Crowd Fund campaign we have now reached 68% of our target so not far to go and still 11 days to go if you would like to help us to be able to deliver our project.
The aim of which is to offer a programme of skill devlopment workshops via painting with acrylics to both young people and adults who have not previously been able to do this, and to develop their confidence so that they can share their work with their family, friends and everybody in the wider community, in a joint exhibition which they have helped curate.

Many of us already connect with the benefits that creativity can bring in, finding solace and a voice through self expression; help us to extend this great life skill to those who don't know it yet.
