The Art Room has been shown to be successful in providing support to young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties and help them engage better at school. This provides important lessons for learning and behaviour support units in schools and Pupil Referral Units. Its significance has been recognised by several charitable foundations that have funded dissemination and evaluation activities for the Art Room. These have included the Clore Duffield Foundation and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation amongst others.

As with all charities, The Art Room is dependent on financial support. We work hard to raise the much needed funds to operate at the five schools where The Art Room works. The aim of The Art Room is to secure funding so that we can open more Art Rooms and reach more children.

With financial security we will be confident that we can continue this innovative and important work to support some of the most challenging young people in our society.
