Description

Help someone discover hidden talents with the gift of therapeutic art classes to help them cope with stress and anxiety and stimulate their day whilst also unleashing some creativity. 

“I only started painting recently as part of the art classes organised by the Simon Community. It’s nice to be able to have the chance to do things that you might never have done before and I was very surprised to be told I have talent. A lot of people don’t understand homelessness; they don’t know what it’s really like. It’s not who people are, it’s just what has happened to them. Everyone comes from somewhere.” – Mark, Art Class Participant
