CV3: Creative Voices 3 :
Home-ed Art Club
For those on UC or experiencing low income.
This will be our third group to launch once funding is secured. A much needed free group for children and young people who are Home-educated but on a low income and cant access paid sessions. Many children who are Home-Educated are out of school due to schools not meeting their needs, bullying, SEND and mental health or their own safety . AIA is well aware that many families have a parent giving up an income to educate them at home, or may be on receipt of UC. This group will be fully funded and be a safe space to connect, explore, learn and create , whilst gaining creative and practical skills that may be used in the future and developing possibilities !
CV4: Creative Voices 4 : Home-Ed LGBTQIA+
11-16 Art + parent connect group
This will be our forth group to launch once funding is secured. A much needed free group for young people who are Home-educated and who identify as LGBTQIA+, and their parents. AIA during sessional work and speaking to parents, identified that there were a group of young people who in some groups were struggling to connect and be accepted. Some children had also left school due to the personal journeys they were on and many had also experienced wellbeing issues and lost confidence. Some parents had also struggled to find others they could connect to who were on a similar journey to them. At AIA we believe everyone is equal, loved and deserves to have their voice heard. Once we find funding we would like to provide a safe space where children and young people can connect with others who 'get it'. can feel safe and be themselves whilst being creative and learning new skills and helping wellbeing. We would also hope to provide a relaxed area for parents to connect and chat. This group will be fully funded and be a safe space to connect, explore, learn and create , whilst gaining creative and practical skills that may be used in the future and developing possibilities !
