Our Sessions
Our sessions coordinated to provide our children with new innovation each day.

Children who have a keen interest in learning to be an artist have this unique experience to work with professional artists. Sessions also include meditation, me time, where children get to share their daily experience and work on public speech and reading skills. Boosting their self esteem.

Her mother and father are both very creative and have taken part in their own heritage based exhibitions with local community groups. Due to lack of opportunity and cuts, these local groups were closed. Joyti has aimed to open her own group for children, to provide them with the same opportunity and beyond. This supports children in their mental health, with guidance and opportunity these children and young people can gain life changing skills
