THE DENBIGH WORKSHOP 

The Denbigh Workshop works with people from all backgrounds and uses creative activities to empower, build confidence, combat isolation, build communities and help individuals to achieve their potential. We work in mainly deprived areas and deliver projects developed in response to community identified need. We have a particular interest in supporting women and young girls to empower themselves.
