Suffolk Artlink

As the year comes to an end, it feels like a great time to send thanks to all of our partners and supporters this year. Together, we’ve helped 2961 people to enjoy the benefits of being creative during 373 workshops in 2017. This equates to a great many moments of peace, comfort and joy for our participants, something we all strive for, not just at Christmas, but all year round.

We’ll be taking a break on 20th December, and look forward to getting started with a busy and exciting 2018 on 3rd January.

Merry Christmas!

Many of the people we work with are dealing with a number of life’s challenges, and a little bit of creativity can go a long way to support them in building skills, confidence and wellbeing.
