ABOUT
THERAPEUTIC ARTS based projects began for me as a volunteer for YMCA on needy housing estates on the border of South East London in 2004.
From 2010, the work shifted focus from youth work to working with Mental Health under the banner of Positive Urban Design and is now known as Community Arts Projects.
Community Arts Projects has developed out of 10 years of arts-based provisions across Kent prisons and Forensic units. Using a wide spectrum of the arts Community Arts Projects helps its students to create projects to improve personal development and local community environments.
