Award for All success

Fantastic news, We are now able to share with you the announcement made in the Big Lottery Fund press release on the 25th March.

Art Therapy Yorkshire, with the project entitled ‘Scarborough – Seen through Art’  – has been awarded new funding.  This is what The Big Lottery  say…
“This is a project by a community organisation in Scarborough. The group will use funding to deliver a series of art therapy group sessions, for Polish immigrants, adults with learning disabilities and women who have suffered trauma. This will provide beneficiaries with positive activities, with the aim of building confidence and reducing social isolation”.    Thank you Big Lottery, and thanks again to Boshier-Hinton who  are co-funding this work.

Announcements soon of the details of each specific  group work project, but to register interest, or for further information  please contact us.041

ArtWorking….Article in local press

Many thanks to our local weekly paper, The Scarborough News, for an article about our work, published this Thursday, 5 March.

Our ArtWorking group programme is now half way through, with two groups completed. We are currently seeking participants for our two final groups. The next is scheduled to begin on the 17th March (yes, it has been put back 1 week). Group participants must be 19 or over and not currently employed, or at least no more than 8 hours per week. Long term, short term unemployed… perhaps considering re-entering the job market after redundancy, looking after children or being a carer? Maybe you are recovering from illness or, having left university are unsure of your direction.  All the above have benefited from ArtWorking and completed feeling a really positive change in attitude.  Don’t put it off – contact us.
