We are fundraising to support our creative engagement projects taking place across 2024, working with marginalised groups to support connection, creativity and wellbeing.

Situation
Our planned work in the months ahead engages groups that are amongst those most marginalized and least represented in the arts – disabled people and people with dementia: -More than 850,000 people in the UK have dementia. Many are isolated physically and mentally. More than 2 million people have caring roles, many suffering resulting poor mental health. -Arts Council figures show that only 6% of people who work in the arts are disabled, compared with 21% of the wider population
Solution
Three participatory projects we are running in 2024 will specifically address these issues: -On The Beach – a sensory interactive show for people living with dementias and their carers, co-created with global majority-led elders groups -It All Makes Sensory – a programme of workshops and activities for people living with dementias, delivered in care homes -Tyre Change – a training programme to develop and train artists to work in sensory & participatory practice
