Arts programs have been shown to have numerous benefits on social inclusion and wellbeing, particularly for marginalised groups. They have the power to promote social inclusion by providing a space where individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another fostering a sense of belonging and cultivate mutual understanding between participants, thus breaking down social barriers and reducing feelings of isolation. Participation in arts programs can also help boost confidence and open doors to opportunities that may otherwise be inaccessible.

CLICK Arts Foundation offer grants of up to £2000 to grassroots arts projects which boost wellbeing within their community.
