Inside Out Community Arts in Mental Health

'Putting the creative process at the heart of healing and recovery'

Inside Out is an arts and mental health charity founded in 2003. We are committed to providing programmes throughout the year for people drawn to the therapeutic arts as a way of improving and sustaining their mental health and well being. We are based in Ipswich UK and our programmes take place mainly in East Suffolk. Participants are mainly people recovering from periods of mental ill-health and those who live with a continuing vulnerability to episodes of psychological distress.

All workshops are free and open to any participants without a prior referral. In a safe, non-judgemental environment, participants engage in an artistic activity and receive beneficial effects of therapeutic arts.

Arts workshops run in Ipswich and the surrounding area. We are committed to promoting the benefits of arts for mental health in the wider population.

Adapt to support

With the Covid 19, came the sudden closure of our physical workshops. Starting as a pilot scheme in Spring 2020, we have gradually developed an alternative ‘Socially Distanced’ programme, delivering art and emotional support to participants in the safety of their home. Our new programme reaches participants via a range of communication channels, enables them to connect with each other and share art & stories in the safe space of our community.
