Support Our Mission
At The Holding Palette CIC, we believe that meaningful creative mental health support should be accessible to more people, regardless of their circumstances.
As a community interest company, we reinvest our surplus to support our social purpose. Our longer-term ambition is to help children and young people who face barriers to accessing specialist mental health support by subsidising clinical art psychotherapy.
Support from individuals, organisations and local businesses can help us widen access to our Therapeutic Arts Programmes, provide creative opportunities for communities through The Inkstone, and develop projects that respond to local needs.
Whether through donations, sponsorship, materials or partnership opportunities, your support can help us create more spaces for expression, connection and emotional wellbeing.
