Wreck This Art Collective is fundraising for a fantastic, hardworking and vitally important charity known as Grassroots Suicide Prevention. A cause that is very close to our hearts, we will be setting up an arts competition across Brighton, Shoreham, Worthing and the surrounding areas with some fabulous prizes available, donated from some wonderful local businesses and artists. The competition entry fee will be being donated directly to the charity to support their cause. If you’d like to donate, but do not wish to enter the competition, please feel free to do so, there is no limit to donations, and the more people willing to help out in this very worthy cause the better.

To find out how to enter the competition and hear about some of the amazing prizes up for grabs, read our competition brief below.
