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 include the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Omega Foundation, and the DfES Innovation Unit.
As with most charities, The Art Room is dependent on financial contributions to keep going. We work hard to raise the much needed funds to operate at the schools we are currently providing a service. Our aim is to secure funding so that we can extend our reach and see more children at these schools.
With more financial security we will be confident that we could continue this innovative and important work to support some of the most challenging young people in our society.
