SPUD

Artswork is a charity that empowers young people through creativity, so they can build a better future – for themselves and others. We run programmes and projects that pave the way for work in the creative, cultural and heritage sectors. We give young people the means to make an impact in their communities, amplify their voices and help them find creative solutions. We provide placements and pre-employment training that could unlock creative careers young people might never have imagined – and much more.

IAMFlow CIC aims to create opportunities and access to arts, health & wellbeing group activities for underserved communities facing isolation and inequalities related to social, financial, mental, and/or physical challenges. We focus on breaking down barriers, supporting personal growth, and strengthening the community. We offer a diverse range of creative workshops designed to enhance both physical and mental well-being while fostering a connection with nature. These activities could include circus arts, dance, yoga, qigong, tai chi, physical theatre, and storytelling. We also create participatory performances that encourage creative involvement and self-expression, helping to reduce feelings of isolation and cultivating social bonds.

Forest Forge, based in Ringwood, Hampshire, uses theatre and theatre-making to find and celebrate the extraordinary in the ordinary. Based in the New Forest, our work across touring productions, participation and artist development helps make and build connections between people, spark joy, and encourages personal shifts in perspective and experience.
