Welcome to LifewithArt’s first Newsletter, highlighting what we’ve been up to over the past few months and some of our ideas for the future. I hope you find this both informative and entertaining.

LifewithArt has now been operating for almost a year and we have already held hundreds of workshops, with well in excess of 500 currently planned for 2012! We have been working with people of all ages with physical and learning disabilities and mental health issues. Classes have included mosaics, spray painting, acrylic painting, collages, 3-D modelling, drumming and dance. All these have been immensely beneficial and popular with all our participants. Long may they continue!

The Trustees’ thanks go out to our teachers and operations teams who have made all this possible and also to Riding for the Disabled, Teenage Cancer Trust and ME Research, with whom we work closely in our Charity Arts Centres.

LifewithArt wishes you a productive 2012 and we look forward to working with you again at one, or more of our Charity Arts Centres over the next few months.

David Pigott, Chairman of Trustees
