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, outpatient units and GP clinics 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.”
