Our Projects
Our passion for having a positive impact on the lives of society’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable people is the driving force behind everything we do. Here’s a sample of our projects, which enable people who are excluded through disability, disadvantage, ill-health, imprisonment, poverty or social isolation to take part in high quality creative arts experiences.
