What your support will make possible

Because of you, more than 200 adults with learning disabilities will be able to join creative activities that build confidence, improve wellbeing and strengthen friendships. Funding from Let’s Create will help us to:

• Sustain popular courses such as art, photography, dance and drama across our centres.
• Develop eight new creative opportunities shaped by client feedback.
• Host exhibitions and performances that celebrate achievement and challenge stereotypes.
• Provide day trips to arts venues and tackle barriers to taking part, including transport and accessibility.

As one of our clients, Kerry, told us, dance makes her feel excited and confident in front of everyone. That sense of confidence and connection is exactly what your support unlocks.

Thanks to our match funders

A special thank you to The Reed Foundation, our Charity Champion, and to our amazing pledgers: Southwell and District Lions Club, Rotary Club of Newark, The Arts Society Trent Valley and some wonderful local individuals. Their match funding meant every donation during the campaign period worked twice as hard. We are grateful to the Big Give team for running the UK’s largest week of matched giving, with a fantastic amount of money raised for a diverse range of charities.

Keep an eye on our website and social channels for updates and stories about the creative opportunities for adults with learning disabilities you have made possible.
