VISITS

Shapes in the Clouds

We organise both residential visits, both in the UK and overseas, and day trips to places of cultural and artistic interest.

We are very pleased that, after residential visits, in particular, were necessarily restricted during the Covid pandemic, we are now able to move back towards a full programme.

ARTS VOLUNTEERING

Ceramic pebbles

We have organised events for young people under our former “Young Arts” scheme now incorporated into a wider “Arts Volunteering” heading.

In 2022 we  sponsored arts projects in two local primary schools.

Funding may also be available for sponsoring other projects in support of the arts in the local area.

CHURCH RECORDERS

Church Recorders

Members can get involved in the “Church Recorders” programme which records every detail in local churches and which is becoming a record of national importance in the UK.
