There is no right or wrong in a Talitha Arts workshop meaning that participants are free to express themselves however they choose. Building resilience and confidence is integral to our workshops. We can't change people's situations but we can keep them going by showing them the power of the art.

Our therapeutic arts workshops help people with their mental health and wellbeing. They can express themselves even when communication may become compromised due to living with dementia.

Deciding which charity to support with a gift in your will can be challenging. If you have a simple estate, consider doing it online with Free Wills. Your contribution can fund therapeutic arts workshops for people who have been trafficked or have survived modern slavery.
