Disabled and neurodivergent people face real barriers to creativity, connection and belonging. Disabled people are nearly twice as likely to experience loneliness as non-disabled people, and creative and social opportunities are too often short term, inaccessible or simply unavailable. Community Focus Inclusive Arts works to remove these barriers through long term, disabled-led creative practice, but rising costs and competitive funding put that work under pressure.

Community Focus Inclusive Arts provides long term, disabled-led creative programmes across Barnet: weekly studio sessions for disabled adults, holiday and after-school provision for disabled young people, and a participant-led podcast amplifying disabled voices. We are rooted in the Social Model of Disability: we focus on removing barriers in our environment, not asking people to overcome their bodies or minds. Your support keeps these spaces open and accessible to everyone who needs them.
