Holly's Birthday Party

Veronica Reinhardt is raising money for The Art Room
Celebrating the birthday of Holly Reinhardt

on 25 April 2012

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
The Art Room works with over 500 children each week in socially deprived areas of the UK. Using art as therapy we offer respite from the difficulties they face. We help them reengage with their education and support them in gaining confidence and independence as they learn and achieve through art.

Story

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: #1f497d;">Holly&rsquo;s middle name is Alexandra &ndash; she was named after my sister, an artist, who died young after a long battle against a rare blood disorder.&nbsp; My family set up an Art Award in her memory &ndash; the Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award &ndash; which funds an artist-in-residence programme culminating in a public art installation.&nbsp; The last three years we have run it with The Art Room, and have seen at first hand the therapeutic benefits of the art workshops to children who lead challenging and difficult lives and who struggle with &nbsp;the demands of large mainstream education.&nbsp; I have explained to Holly how fortunate we as a family are and how that means she can go to a wonderful school like Lynhams.&nbsp; Given her love of art she is happy that instead of receiving presents, children from The Art Room should benefit instead.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
