What We Do
Putting wellbeing at the heart of all we do, we work with professional artists and wellbeing specialists to run creative courses and activities aimed at those facing difficulties in their lives or simply in need of some inspiration.
From visual arts to journaling, singing, or speaking in public, our activities offer people a wonderful opportunity to have fun, grow their confidence and make new friends.
Read MoreOur Impact
Over 1,400 people take part in our courses and activities every year, including those from some of the most disadvantaged areas of Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol and beyond.
Our participants progress on to new opportunities in the workplace or volunteering in the wider community. Some return to college or higher education, realising new skills. Many progress along their recovery journey from mental health challenges. Many make culture and creativity a part of their lives, take time away from their worries, and re-discover how to laugh and have fun.
