£1,000 in one of 12 prize draws each with 10 £1,000 prizes, taking place this
December. Enter once for free, it takes a couple of minutes, and we are in
all 12 draws – enter
here. We have been awarded
£20,000 by the People’s Postcode Lottery Trust for which we are very grateful
and the Southend Community Investment Fund has
invested nearly £10,000 in The Art Ministry so that we can can continue to run two sessions a week in Southend for another year. Last year we were awarded
£14,000 by Essex County Council, £12,050 by the Community Organisations Cost
of Living Fund to allow us to run our sessions for free over the winter. We
were awarded £1,407 by the Co-op Community Foundation so we could provide
children’s creative activities in Leigh on Sea. We
had a fundraising meal at the Tandoori Parlour Restaurant on in May and raised
just over £500. We
have spent the awarded £3,600 by the Screwfix
Foundation to make our art room in Hadleigh warmer
in winter and cooler in summer. Thanks
to an investment of £4,000 from the Southend
Community Investment Fund we have just started to run a weekly creative
session for homeless people in Southend. Our students pay a
nominal fee for each session that they attend. These fees go some way to
meeting our costs, but the majority of our funding comes in the form of
grants that we have applied for and from money that we have raised ourselves. HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP
THE ART MINISTRY RAISE FUNDS
We
received a Magic Little Grant of £500 from the People’s Postcode Lottery
towards art and craft materials for our weekly session for young people with
special needs. We
are currently partly supported by Southend
Community Investment Fund, ROSCA Trust, ASDA Foundation, Essex Fund, Perry Watlington Trust, Movement for Good, M&S Gifting,
Allen Lane Foundation, Norman Garon Trust and the
Lions Club of Leigh on Sea.
