Delight

Description

Delight creates lasting change for children affected by disadvantage enabling them to thrive in school and beyond.

Delight uses the arts to work with 2,200 children yearly, immersing them in eight-week programmes culminating in performances or exhibitions. Inspired by Founder Kathryn Mill’s experience of growing up in a community where disadvantage was the norm, Delight alumni leave more socially and academically confident. This impact, combined with sharp rises in young people experiencing disadvantage, mental health and learning challenges, means the waiting list for schools wanting Delight’s programmes is rocketing.

With our funding, Delight will recruit a Partnership Development Manager to provide capacity to reimagine their operating model by expanding digital and hybrid programme offerings to crush waiting lists and expand.
