We awarded It’s a Family Thing CIC a grant of £910 through our Community Impact Fund to run the ‘Creative Dreams: Bilston’ project which provided creative, arts and craft out-of-school activities for children and young people aged 5-12 in Wolverhampton.
The Creative Dreams project reached 30 children and young people from families, including our GSA customers, who have little or no opportunities to engage in arts and culture. The aim of the project was to offer enjoyable experiences while providing accessible opportunities to areas lacking in resources, where the benefits of the arts on health and wellbeing can be profound.
This project was hyper local, meaning Its Family Thing CIC provided regular holiday/weekend arts activities (mostly for free) on people’s doorsteps, creating opportunities for children and young people to take part - all led by highly skilled artists.
