We've done a round-up of just a few of the projects we've been involved in this year, and hope you enjoy reading about how the Arts continue to have a profound effect on groups and individuals of all ages.
We look forward to seeing you in 2023.

We have put a slideshow together with some of the young peoples' creations....
From Pumpkins to Pop Art!
Our team delivered a wide variety of activities, something different every morning and afternoon on each day.
The artworks they created were outstanding and the young people told us that they really enjoyed the BSL (British Sign Language) activities – which included some games of BSL bingo which got VERY competitive!!
We were delighted to be visited by a local councillor and have our project featured in the Express and Star and on the council’s Facebook page.
See below for the results of monitoring feedback including some lovely comments from the young people.

Young peoples' feedback (online surveys)
Some of these are new things I have never done; my goal is to have lots of cool art on a corner of my room
They were really interesting and funny to do at the same time
Because I like designing and painting but especially graphic design
I was bored at home and when I came here, I felt more inspired, and I met lots of new friends I really enjoyed it here
I liked learning the sign language because it was interesting, and I learnt something new that schoolteachers don’t teach.
I enjoyed them all because I learned lots and my creativity has improved.
- I really enjoyed doing all the activities, I really hope I’ll come next year as well!
- All the staff were extremely amazing and made you feel like you’d known them forever. Thanks for an amazing time."
