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 continue to run two sessions a week in Southend for another 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.
