Thank you so much for considering to support my sketchbook challenge. I have been working hard since October 2025 to fill a sketchbook, to raise funds for SCIP. My completed sketchbook will be in exhibition at ‘The Crypt’ in Seaford, East Sussex during March 2026. https://www.wearescip.co.uk/whats-on/the-sketchbook-challenge-exhibition

I found the time limit on this project, and the volume of sketching, drawing and painting a real challenge. I have really enjoyed learning what styles I like creating and figuring out which mediums I really like to work with.

Raising money for SCIP means a lot to me; they have allowed me, for many years, to regularly attend funded workshops with artists, to create art with new mediums and to work on exciting projects. I also regularly attend the youth group which is funded.

I would like to raise money for SCIP so that I can continue to attend workshops and SCIP youth, and support them with future projects that help the community access art and creativity.

Funds raised will directly support SCIP's mission to make culture and creativity accessible to everyone. Your contribution will help continue free and inclusive creative programs for children and young people, while developing new services for adult wellbeing in 2026.
