As a small arts education charity, our work has been made possible by the support of many funders over the years, too many to name them all here. We are grateful to every one of them.
BUILDING OUR WORK
As we developed our film-as-therapy work, multi-year funding from the Halifax Foundation (formerly Lloyds), Trusthouse Charitable Foundation, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Ulster Garden Villages was vital. We couldn’t have come this far without it.
We have also benefited from European funding at key stages in our development, and from valued support in the United States from the Ryan Memorial Foundation and St Luke’s United Methodist Church, Orlando, Florida.
Many of Northern Ireland’s Health and Social Care Trusts are both partners and funders. Our thanks go to the Northern, Belfast, Southern and South Eastern Trusts for supporting the diversity of our work.
The Community Relations Council, Awards for All, Belfast City Council, the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland, the Probation Board for Northern Ireland, St James’s Place Foundation, St Stephen’s Green Trust, LFT Charitable Foundation and the ARN Foundation have all helped us on our journey and enabled us to reach many participants.
SUPPORTING OUR WORK TODAY
We are currently supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, The Baring Foundation, the Northern Ireland Prison Service, the Department of Justice, the Thomas Wall Trust and the Black Santa Appeal with our fundraising being ongoing as we seek to create a sustainable raft of funding.
Our Unboxing Women programme is generously supported by American philanthropist Eileen Ryan.
COMMISSIONED WORK
Alongside our funded programmes, we create commissioned films and training resources for organisations who share our values. Our commissioning partners have included Housing Rights, the Belfast Trust, MindWise, Cancer Focus NI, the Safeguarding Board for Northern Ireland and Boardroom Apprentice. Commissions help sustain our charitable work, and we are always happy to discuss new projects. Get in touch.
