Story

As a charity, Venture Arts relies on the generosity of people like you (especially during such challenging times). Your support will contribute to the costs of running our life changing workshops - supporting our artists to fulfil their creative ambitions.

The outcomes and impacts of Venture Arts' work are far-reaching.

We asked a few of the people who know us best to give their great reasons to support Venture Arts:

Sally - Venture Arts artist (pictured with her dad, Chris):

"A great reason to support Venture Arts is it makes neurodivergent people feel empowered and valued through visual art. Its the only place where I truly feel welcome and treated like an important person. They have given me so many exciting opportunities, a group of some really special and close friends, and have really supported me with developing my own unique art style."

Chris - Sally's dad and Venture Arts supporter:

"My great reason for supporting Venture Arts is that they can change the lives of the most vulnerable people in our society for the better. They provide genuinely enriching opportunities in a safe space."

Shirley - mum of Venture Arts artist, Michael, was part of Team Venture Arts at last year's Great Manchester Run. She is lining up for this year's event to raise even more funds for us!

"Our son Michael has been attending Venture Arts for about three years now. During lockdown it provided an absolute lifeline with virtual workshops, get togethers and, of course, the Friday afternoon disco. Michael has benefited from so many opportunities and experiences thanks to Venture Arts. It was wonderful to be able to give something back in the form of fundraising through the Great Manchester Run."
