We provide painting and craft clubs and classes in a safe, friendly, supportive and non-judgemental environment, open to all members of the community irrespective of gender, race, age, disability or religion; in fact, we encourage such diversity.
We are currently expanding our offerings also to include other arts activities, including photography, jewellery, digital arts, sculpture, and creative writing (the first courses of which have already been held) and animation, pottery, printing and poetry, together with more creative and performing arts in the future.
Equally importantly, we offer a community hub for meeting and socialising. This is primarily directed at elderly residents, often with disabilities and poor physical and mental health; for whom the social aspects are just as important as their engagement in art activities. The results of the art-based interaction are noticeable improvements in their mental and physical well-being.
Additionally, we also run a Children’s Art Club. This is a much-needed resource for the children in this area.
