The Inspirational Art group is a self supporting art therapy group for adults with mental health issues. The Partnership supports them with rooms rent free, which is an additional cost to the Partnership, but one which we see as worthwhile community support.

Members of the art group come from around the Bath area and develop friendships and also create very good art work. They grow in confidence in a safe and supportive environment. They have recently exhibited their work at the Guildhall in Bath, courtesy of the Chair of BANES Council. The Partnership Manager offers friendship and additional support when appropriate.

A successful outcome would be for the group to be able to continue to meet at the Southdown Church Centre, where they feel at home. The group needs £1000 a year for equipment and art materials and the rental costs to the Partnership are also more than £1000 per year.
