We are raising funds to provide opportunities for people who have experiences of mental illness and have limited or no access to the arts the opportunity to take part in creative residencies and live performance making with professional artists and arts organisations.

Situation
Despite research showing the impact that participating in the arts on confidence, self esteem, wellbeing and sense of community (Arts and Health), there are still limited opportunities for people experiencing multiple barriers to engagement, to get involved. There is still a long way to go to make the arts accessible and inclusive and disabled people are hugely unrepresented.
Solution
We will provide free workshops and rehearsals for people experiencing mental illness and other barriers to engagement and work with arts sector partners to provide accessible and inclusive opportunities to make contemporary live performance alongside artists and arts organisations.
