<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Here is just a little about The Art Room UK</p> <p><span style="color: #666666; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">The Art Room offers art as therapy to children and young people between the ages of 5 and 16, to raise their self-esteem, self-confidence and independence.</strong></p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;">Many are disengaged from mainstream education, disruptive or withdrawn and all have been identified as needing special time away from their school. Students might have a variety of problems including specific learning or autistic spectrum difficulties, or have had an interrupted education. Some have recently arrived in this country, others are prime carers within their family, or are &lsquo;looked-after&rsquo; children in the care system. Others might just need a respite from the pressures of mainstream education.</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Art Room has demonstrated that in a caring and creative environment the most challenging children can &lsquo;learn and achieve through art&rsquo;. Our methodology has been tried and tested in both specialist and mainstream schools with positive results.</p> </span></p>
