Since Arty-Folks established in November 1995 the Heart of England Community Foundation supported us countless times and offered us substantial funding to develop a service for young people 16-25yrs old who are struggling to transition from NHS mental health support into adulthood.
Thank you to our Funders
We are most indebted to our Funders for their support,
for believing in our ability to deliver Social Return on their Investment,
and for enabling us to pioneer our life-changing approach
to the visual arts and mental health.
