“I have gained a new confidence in my abilities and an increased empathy towards others. When in lockdown, it’s hard to appreciate that everyone around you is going through the same mental health struggles. I grew a greater sense of understanding of my own mental health issues as well as empathising with others.” – Brighter Futures Project Participant

“My 11-year-old son is learning how the Romans changed Andover. One of your staff spent half an hour with us, and my son now has an absolute wealth of knowledge to use for his homework. It’s also fed his interest in history which was lovely to see.” – Customer Feedback Survey

Our work as a charity

Improving wellbeing, health and happiness through cultural experiences and changing lives through culture.

We manage and support 23 venues across the county and provide a huge variety of workshops, classes, events and projects for all ages, in schools and in communities, with particular emphasis on reaching people who are vulnerable or disadvantaged and would not normally be able to access arts and culture.
