Arts 2 Heal Request (SAC Recommended)

Organisation Description

Arts 2 Heal is an art-based mental health charity founded in 2016. We are based on the outskirts of one of the most economically deprived communities of Blackburn.

We are dedicated to enhancing and safeguarding the well-being, particularly the mental health, of vulnerable individuals. Our organisation extends its support to a diverse range of beneficiaries, particularly those who are neurodiverse, including isolated members with poor mental health and those prone to or engaging in self-harm. We specialise in delivering a range of art-based interventions that transform lives. These interventions are primarily aimed at building essential skills to support recovery and healing. The secondary aim is to develop skills necessary to progress on to Higher education, employment and/or voluntary work. The positive changes resulting from our projects extend beyond the participants themselves; they ripple outward, significantly impacting the families and friends of our beneficiaries.

What are they looking for?

At Arts 2 Heal we need expertise in strategic planning and business development to amplify our impact.

An ideal candidate would have experience in the non-profit sector, particularly with scaling organisations serving similar populations. They should be comfortable with virtual collaboration and able to dedicate 2-3 hours monthly for the next 6 months.

Our goal is to develop a robust strategic plan that strengthens our service delivery, increases our reach, and secures sustainable funding. This might involve conducting a SWOT analysis, researching grant opportunities tailored to our mission, and helping us refine our program offerings to maximise effectiveness and appeal to funders. We're eager for someone who can guide us through this process, offering fresh perspectives and practical strategies to propel Arts 2 Heal forward.
