The Arts Society Blockley has supported the Youth Art Charity, Campden Edge for a number of years applying for the Arts Society Community Grant which it has match funded. Since 2012, Campden Edge has enable 100s of students aged 8 to 26 to access regular arts education. Young people from lower income families were deprived of enjoying the same opportunities as others. Your support goes way beyond ‘just’ paying for lessons. Campden Edge has enabled young people additional skills to succeed, whether in the arts or in other areas of their lives. As well as funding lessons, Campden Edge contributes towards the purchase of instruments and runs an instrument donation scheme. Blockley is now working to put together a grant application with Campden Edge for an exciting, ground breaking new project to help disaffected teenagers. We are looking at sponsoring workshops and one-to-one for children likely to be excluded from school.
