Idea’s story
At Idea Space, we are committed to making the arts accessible to everyone – We’re passionate about helping children, young people and adults discover and explore their creativity. We believe it’s key to fostering wellbeing, personal growth and building strong communities.
That’s why we run free, high quality workshops for all ages; from our popular art social for adults and creative club for children in schools to women-only workshops around safer streets.
Idea Space is an independent charity, based in Waltham Forest.
We rely solely on donations and grants to help us to continue quality workshops and events for adults and children in our community.
Our running costs are kept to an absolute minimum, but we require around £5,000 a year to design and manage our projects, maintain our administrative base, write funding bids and submit annual accounts to the Charity Commission.
A gift of £10 would create:
A drawing workshop for an adult navigating mental health challenges.
The paint for a collaborative mural.
Special clay for a sensory workshop for children with SEND.
A contribution towards a community film project.
A gift of £20 would provide:
Sketchbooks for 10 young local artists.
Refreshments for a creative workshop for 15 people facing loneliness.
An hour of our coordinator's time to secure more funding or manage our space.
A gift of £50 would sustain:
2 hours of time towards writing a funding bid to keep our programs free.
2 hours of community space hire.
This is the work behind the scenes that makes all the loud, joyful creating possible.
Thank you for your support!
