Help us change children’s lives through creativity

Your support can help us change children’s lives. Help us raise £40,000 for creative activities in Barton Hill, Bristol, that support mental health, learning, confidence and so much more.

In our 40^th birthday year, we set a fundraising target of £40,000 to help us continue our work with children, young people and our community next financial year.

And we are nearly there - we have already raised over 90% of our target.

We now need YOU to help us reach our target.

Funds raised will help us to make a real difference to children’s lives by:

• Offering free creative activities and meals for children in the holidays, supporting families experiencing food poverty through healthy meals, creativity and community connections.
  
  
• Delivering free and fun creative events and performances that bring children and the community together.
  
  
• Welcoming children and young people to after school drama groups each week, developing young people’s confidence, wellbeing, self-expression and friendships.
  
  
• Reaching more children in local early years settings and children’s centres, supporting children’s development through drama, storytelling and creative play.

WE NEED YOUR HELP 

Families, nurseries and community groups tell us that cost, lack of transport and being worried about feeling unwelcome, stops our local children accessing creative activities in the city.

That’s why we are fundraising to continue to offer free and affordable creative activities in the heart of the Barton Hill community.

With only 10% of our income coming from public funding, we rely on donations to keep providing accessible activities for children and families that make a real difference to their lives.
