We've done it for 2024! Thank you to everyone has supported our Christmas Challenge fundraising campaign and helped us meet the goal. Your donations have been matched and will support our learning programme. Thank you.
Your donation will support our charity's Art For All By All learning programme enabling us to provide artist-led creative learning for local people who would not ordinarily have this opportunity.
This year we celebrate 175 years since the birth of our co-founder Mary Watts. Today, we honour her artistic talent, philanthropy, and advocacy for social reform through the community engagement programme.
This programme upholds her vision that art can be transformative. It helps to inspire and uplift, and gives access to art and to craft for thousands of people across Surrey who might not otherwise have this opportunity. Through artist-led workshops, we help people to learn new skills, gain a qualification, build self-confidence and experience how art and craft can enrich their lives.
These workshops are delivered free-of-charge to groups supporting young people in overcoming challenges such as mental health challenges, to charities helping people with a learning disability to achieve their full potential and to organisations working with young offenders and women prisoners to rebuild a better future.
The more I escape into my art, the more confident I become, as an artist and a person. It's a lifesaver. - Anonymous, HMP Send
