What We Offer
All of our work is free to users, so we do rely on donations. If you are able to donate, you can do so in person at any of our hubs or events, or on the website via the donate button in the top right hand corner.
We have four main streams of work at Hearts Collective:
The first is our community drop-ins, which are open to everyone. The drop-in sessions are inclusive, and rooted in arts therapy techniques, as well as providing access to the arts for those who may not otherwise be able to be involved.
The next is schools work. We work with both primary and secondary schools, and can be flexible to the schools' needs. We can run workshops, lessons, activities and performances tailored to each Key Stage, and based on key citizenship topics and British values. We aim to boost the cultural capital and mental wellbeing of school-aged children by providing fun, up-to-date contact with the world of the arts.
For care homes, we provide performances and activities for those with dementias, limited mobility, and other disabilities.
The last strand of our work is disability access support for the arts sector. We can offer in-person and web-based support and training for disability inclusion in the arts sector, as well as hands-on and person-centred care and support for disabled people wanting to access the arts.
