PATV has been providing free art sessions for local people who are referred by their GPs since 2016 with mild depression, anxiety loneliness or bereavement. We are run by a small team of volunteers and expert facilitators who provide a safe sanctuary to explore creativity.
Each course lasts six weeks and is held once a week for two hours. At the conclusion of the course participants are encouraged to continue at a fortnightly follow on group where they continue to be supported by our volunteers.
Each course cost approximately £1600 to run. This includes venue hire, materials, refreshments, facilitator expenses, insurance and website maintenance.
