Not every young person with mental health issues wants to talk, we believe that children and young people who suffer from mental health issues such as social and anxiety disorders should have access to a different type of therapy. We fund individual, group and art therapy workshops in schools.

Story

Marley's Aart Foundation started in 2021 just six months after the loss of Marley by suicide.

In October of 2021 we started funding individual Art Therapy for a nine-year-old boy in the community through CHUMS.

Later in 2022 funded group art therapy for six children in the community through CHUMS.

In March 2023 we started funding a local secondary school in Dunstable funding an individual and group art therapy once a week. In September 2023 we increased this to twice a week.

In January 2024 we funded two art therapy workshop for a SEND school in Houghton Regis.

In December 2024 we funded art therapy workshop of all of year 7 children at a local school.

In September 2025 we funded another successful art therapy workshop for all of year 7 children at a local school.

In 2026 we will fund art therapy for a Luton based youth club.

We can do this because of the generosity of our supporters.

Your donations are making a change to the mental state of a child one child at a time.

We cannot do this without you.
