I am running (for the first time since school...) the Great South Run in support of Superstar Arts, which is a not-for-profit group that create opportunities for people with learning disabilities to develop their own inspirational and unique ideas.
At our 11 Rugby Road Pop-Ups I've worked with them and sold their amazing work and know how talented they are given the opportunity. It is especially important for young adults who are often left at a loose end after leaving education.
£340 pays for a learning disabled participant to attend a project for 10 weeks, which allows them to learn through experimentation, questioning and discovery, build confidence and self-esteem and enable people to explore social and emotional issues in a positive, creative way.
I'm hoping to raise enough for one new participants to have their time at Superstar Arts paid for and any extra will help more people be able to get involved!
