Thank You – Big Lottery Community Fund

This is your chance to get in touch… regarding this or our other programmes!

Thanks to a grant from the Big Lottery Community Fund we are able to offer fully funded places to those who may self-refer, or via another agency. If lockdown and Covid 19 issues has affected you adversely and wish to work through these things with an experienced mental health practitioner using art psychotherapy please get in touch, simply   make an appointment to discuss the options with us.

We will be happy to explain art therapy to you and answer any questions around our practice. As always we have a simple  assessment process and if appropriate we will offer you a minimum 10 week art therapy programme  free of charge. Donations are always welcome!

ARTTALKING Young person’s group

We wish to acknowledge the Two Ridings Community Foundation based in York who, through their Community First Whitby and Scarborough Fund have supported the provision of our pilot Young Persons group. This 6 week group  worked with Young People in our community who have been disadvantaged, and struggle with some aspect of their lives. Unfortunately the successful conclusion of this work was curtailed owing to the Covid 19 shut down, but contact is maintained with the young people involved and shall continue in the future. This was considered a pilot as it included a more structured and themed approach in its short term approach, a way of working which is becoming more a reality.

High Sheriff’s Dragon’s Den

The High Sheriff on North Yorkshire, Chris Legard  with the Two Ridings Community Foundation hosted a extremely enjoyable evening at a fabulous venue The Orangery Settrington.  We were delighted to be able to pitch alongside 4 other local organisation for a share of a pot! Everyone came away with a great donation in order to further their work. A fantastically upbeat and positive event – even bearing in mind the difficult nature of the work undertaken by the organisations and their need for sustainable funding.  Great people, great canapes! This will go along way towards starting our long anticipated and much needed men’s group.

Busy weekends!

We were delighted to receive a prize from the Cavalier Scarborough Rotary Club, for our stall at the Scarborough community fair.  Home made bunting in ATY colours. A winner…we thought, although we won third prize.
