Funders
At Inside Out Community we are truly grateful for the ongoing support of our funders, enabling us to deliver our wide-ranging programme of creative workshops.
Without them this just wouldn’t be possible. Working together we are making a real difference to the lives of so many people and the communities in which they live.
