| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | In A Space is very proud to have engaged in projects that have benefitted different members of the public. The Arnold Clarke Community Fund allowed us to deliver lively and interesting workshops for a community youth club including activities which were related to the Queen’s Jubilee and children’s activities at a summer fete. We were also able to deliver linocut and ceramic classes for older members of the community. In July 2022 we started a regular weekly service for the Ashford Umbrella group which began as a mental health support group with referrals from The Shaw Trust. Clients have expressed how they have grown in confidence in other areas of their lives from attending the weekly sessions. The activities are always designed to be accessible and enjoyable encouraging attendees to participate with other members of the group. In September we began an Artist in Residence project in a busy high street location where the artists concerned delivered free and affordable workshops for the public. The project culminated in an exhibition which was open to members of the public. |
