Story

We're Art for Wellness CIC, and 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 space in the Penistone (S36) area — somewhere we can run our therapeutic art workshops, store materials, and build a community around creativity and care.

🏡 The Vision

This is just the beginning. Your support will help us take the first step toward a much bigger dream — a £500,000 community arts and wellbeing centre 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 to 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, or just looking for a moment of calm.

🎯 Our 2026 Goal: £20,000

We’re starting with a realistic, vital milestone:

£20,000 to find and fit out a flexible studio space for workshops, events, and storage. This space will be the launchpad for our full-scale community centre and allow us to:

✅ Keep our sessions running and accessible

✅ Deepen local connections

✅ Build the foundations for long-term impact

💛 How You Can Help

Every donation — big or small — moves us closer to making this vision a reality.

💬 Leave a message of support — it means the world to us
