Training workshops based on a therapeutic use of the arts. Projects with vulnerable groups eg. domestic violence, addictions, abuse (physical, sexual and emotional), human trafficking, homelessness. We help people find their voices and process what has happened in their lives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently
