Welcome to Artful Hearts Foundation

Our creative workshops offer inclusive, judgement-free spaces where individuals of all ages can explore self-expression through hands-on art activities. By engaging in painting, sculpting, crafting, and more, participants build confidence, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with their inner voice—one brushstroke at a time.

These sessions are designed to support emotional wellbeing, promote mindfulness, and encourage a sense of purpose through creativity.

Our therapeutic art sessions are guided by qualified art therapists who use creative practices as a tool for emotional healing. These sessions provide a gentle, non-verbal way for individuals to explore complex emotions, develop self-awareness, and process trauma or stress.

Rooted in evidence-based approaches, our therapy programmes are especially beneficial for those facing mental health challenges, grief, or personal hardship

Music therapy taps into the emotional and therapeutic power of rhythm, melody, and sound to support mental wellbeing. Delivered by trained music therapists, these sessions help individuals express feelings that may be hard to verbalize, improve mood, and build connections through collaborative sound-making.

Our music therapy programmes benefit people of all ages and are especially effective for those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or social isolation.

Our community art projects unite people of all backgrounds in the spirit of creativity and collaboration. These inclusive initiatives empower participants to co-create public artworks—murals, installations, and displays—that beautify shared spaces and strengthen local identity.

By involving schools, neighbourhoods, and community groups, we foster belonging, pride, and social connection through shared artistic expression.

We are dedicated to serving individuals who are often overlooked or underserved—including those living with mental health conditions, disabilities, trauma, or isolation. Our programmes are trauma-informed, inclusive, and person-centred, offering creative pathways for healing, empowerment, and self-worth.

Through targeted outreach and tailored support, we ensure everyone has access to compassionate care and community connection.

We believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated. Our exhibitions and showcases provide participants with a platform to share their creative work with the wider public—building confidence, encouraging dialogue, and fostering community pride.

These events are more than displays; they are affirmations of growth, transformation, and personal achievement.

We work hand-in-hand with local authorities, health organisations, community groups, and schools to expand the impact of our services. Strategic partnerships help us co-design projects, reach more people, and deliver lasting social value.

Whether you're a funder, organisation, or collaborator, we welcome meaningful partnerships that align with our mission of creative, compassionate care.

Our community events bring people together in joyful, creative spaces—offering hands-on experiences that promote connection, learning, and mental wellbeing.

From art and music workshops to seasonal pop-ups and public installations, every event is designed to be inclusive, uplifting, and accessible. Whether you're here to explore, unwind, or connect, there's a place for you at our table.

Creativity is at the heart of wellbeing. Our programmes combine artistic exploration with emotional support, offering participants a safe space to process feelings, reduce anxiety, and build resilience.

Closely aligned with our Mental Health Toolkit, these sessions integrate mindfulness, peer connection, and signposting to trusted external services—ensuring holistic support for every step of your wellbeing journey.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of Artful Hearts Foundation. Whether you’re an artist, therapist, organiser, or simply passionate about helping others, we invite you to be part of something meaningful.

Volunteering with us means making a direct impact—uplifting lives, building community, and bringing creativity into the hearts of those who need it most.

For individuals who are housebound, isolated, or require a private setting, we offer personalised therapeutic sessions in the comfort of their own homes.

Led by trained professionals, these sessions use creative tools such as art, music, and mindfulness to support mental health, emotional expression, and personal growth.

Our home-based services ensure accessibility, dignity, and care—tailored to each person’s needs.

Our Pop-Up Workshops are mobile creative hubs—bringing art to high streets, schools, community halls, and festivals. These fun, accessible sessions welcome all ages and abilities to engage in painting, sculpture, mixed media, and more.

Designed to break down barriers to participation, our workshops foster personal confidence, community spirit, and artistic exploration wherever they land.
