"Expressing ourselves through art - whether it's painting, writing, music, or any other medium - can help us break through difficulties and discover new perspectives on life. It's not just about creating, it’s about finding something within ourselves that we didn't know existed before."

Elene Marsden - Acting Chair

Creative Mentoring

All places now filled
All the places we had provision for have now been filled so we are unable to take any further participants for this service at this time. 

Creative mentoring offers one-to-one sessions for members who cannot attend our community groups for a variety of reasons.  
 
This is an offshoot of the Inside Out Community programme, and was set up to overcome potential barriers some members may have in accessing our workshops. 
 
Over the course of ten weeks, an artist or other creative mentor will work with the member on a creative project of their choice in their own home, or other suitable venue.  
 
Creative Mentoring is run in association with our partners YLOH.

Queens Award for Voluntary Service 2021

In 2021, our community and volunteers were awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service with a special recognition award for their work during the Covid 19 Pandemic.
We could not have done this without the incredible support of our wonderful volunteers and this award is a testament to their hard work and commitment. So from the whole Team at Inside Out Community, thank you.
