1. The Charity has run in-person
workshops and nationwide educational
programme in schools and community
settings designed to build confidence,
curiosity, creativity, emotional wellbeing
and resilience in children and young
adults and help them express how they
feel through a love of art and making.
This year we have worked with
Adoption South East focusing on
vulnerable primary and secondary aged
children.
2. We ran inspiring art masterclasses in
person over 24 sessions combining
walks in nature with creating art in
workshops. This resulted in an
exhibition where the children and young
people invited carers to the event.
3. Artists from different backgrounds and
different mediums took part in the
workshops.| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
