Make a difference

Our vision is to make the practice of art a powerful connector, widely accessible and integral to enhancing health, for people of all ages.

We work with hospitals to address isolation, loneliness and anxiety, through open-access, free, therapeutic art programmes for patients and healthcare professionals. Our initiatives extend to the community at large - reaching isolated groups; schools and workplaces to educate in the benefits of creativity for wellbeing.

Our resources are entirely crowd-sourced, with drawings sent in from people of all ages, worldwide; a monthly Artist in Residence scheme and a growing catalogue of celebrities contributing sketches to colour in.

“Such a novel and therapeutic way of connecting people together through art.”
