Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

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>we must be mad.... still here we go.....at a combined age of 76 father and son are embarking on our first marathon - London April 22 !.....</p> <p>The Art Room is an amazing charity based here in Oxford, but now in London as well and with ambitions to grow further &nbsp;see&nbsp;<a href="http://www.theartroom.org.uk/">http://www.theartroom.org.uk/</a>. &nbsp;Our friend Juli started it up eleven years ago and we have lots of other friends involved. They make a massive difference in a brilliant and unique way to young people who need help, using art as therapy.</p> <p>They have recently pulled off the coup of landing the Duchess of Cambridge as their Patron - as Juli says " a fantastic endorsement of the work we do and the role that art and creativity can play in helping children and young people whose start in life has been difficult."&nbsp;</p> <p>It is a constant effort for the Art Room to raise money to keep going and keep growing, so thank you for helping us to help them!!!</p> <p><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"><br></span></span></p>
