Our impact

Since 2019, we have supported hundreds of young people to reconnect with their creative potential.

We continue to create spaces where growth unfolds at its own pace, and where art becomes a way to reconnect, rebuild confidence, and imagine new futures.

In 2025 we provided…

834 creative sessions for young people

135 1:1 sessions, delivered by our music and art leads

138 art and music therapy sessions
