We are really happy to share the great news that Wellspring West Sussex has funding from The National Lottery (Awards4All) for over £11,000!
Our project on the application was called “Everybody Belongs” and the money we have received will enable us to continue running all our Creative Arts workshops for children and young people with additional needs, siblings and families through 2025 and into 2026! The workshops we offer are: • Music with Adam Gellibrand. The funding covers Adam as the music leader, an assistant, use of equipment and hire of studios. These sessions can be with a group at their premises or at QM Studios in Horsham. More about Adam’s work here. • “Freedom Through Fun” workshops with Chris North. These will be with groups at their premises and they will create stories, poetry and drama using equipment such as puppets and musical instruments. For more details about what Chris offers click here. • Wheely Wonders Family Days at Applefield in Sidlesham. Once a month on Sundays from April 2025 onwards. Available for up to 16 children and young people per session. More on this year’s days here. Please get in touch with us if you would like more information about any of the workshops and how to book!
