Art for Wellness CIC – Creating a Home for Creativity and Wellbeing

At Art for Wellness CIC, we believe creativity has the power to bring people together, boost wellbeing, and transform lives.

We’re raising £20,000 to secure and set up a dedicated creative space in the Penistone (S36) area — somewhere we can run our therapeutic art workshops, safely store materials, and continue building a supportive community around creativity and care.

A New Page, Building on Your Support

This is the second page of our campaign. Our original page reached its one-year expiry, which meant it automatically closed.

Thanks to the kindness of early supporters, £760 was already raised and has been safely banked and set aside for this project. We are incredibly grateful for that support — it has helped us begin this journey.

This new page simply allows us to continue building momentum and move closer to making this vision a reality.

🏡 The Vision

This studio space is just the beginning.

Your support will help us take the first step toward a much bigger dream — creating a £500,000 community arts and wellbeing centre in Penistone designed to:

🌱 Host therapeutic art workshops, exhibitions, and community events

👩‍🎨 Offer studio space for local artists and creatives to rent and collaborate

☕ Include a cosy café and relaxing lounge area where people can connect and unwind

🌼 Feature a peaceful garden space for reflection and creative inspiration

🤝 Become a welcoming hub for creativity, wellbeing, and community connection

We want to create a place where everyone feels they belong — whether you're making art, enjoying a cuppa, meeting others, or simply looking for a moment of calm.

🎯 Our First Goal: £20,000

We’re starting with a realistic but vital milestone: £20,000 to secure and fit out a flexible studio space for workshops, events, and storage.

This space will become the launchpad for our future community arts and wellbeing centre and allow us to:

✅ Continue running accessible therapeutic art sessions

✅ Deepen connections within our local community

✅ Store materials and resources safely

✅ Build strong foundations for long-term impact

💛 How You Can Help

Every donation — big or small — moves us closer to creating this space for our community.

You can help by:

🔁 Sharing this campaign with friends, family, and anyone who believes in the power of creativity and wellbeing

💬 Leaving a message of support — your encouragement means the world to us

🎁 Looking out for creative rewards and community updates as the project grows

🙌 Let’s Build This Together

Penistone deserves a vibrant, inclusive creative space — somewhere people can feel inspired, supported, and connected.

With your help, we can turn this vision into reality.

Thank you for being part of the Art In Your Hands journey.

Let’s take this first step — and dream big, together.
