We're raising funds between 1st - 8th December, to support our charity's Art For All By All learning programme which enables us to provide artist-led creative learning for local people who would not ordinarily have this opportunity.

Why donate to Watts Gallery?

Surrey is known for its affluence, but many local communities face poverty, isolation and disadvantage. For people who are least likely to access the arts, opportunities to experience creativity and its benefits can remain out of reach.

With support from our partners and donors, Watts Gallery provides art workshops to some of the most vulnerable people and communities across Surrey. We give opportunity for participants to gain benefits from engaging in art and creativity in a calm, safe setting including; fostering creativity, building confidence, self esteem and the foundations for positive progression.

How your donation will help

• Welcome local communities with creative opportunities and cultural experiences for volunteers, families, and community organisations

• Build new partnerships with Surrey schools and community organisations, creating opportunities for people who face barriers to arts and culture to develop skills, confidence and creativity.

• Support vulnerable people through creative workshops, exhibitions and open spaces, working with established community partners to reach children, young people, adults with learning disabilities and those in need.

• Inspire learning beyond the classroom by working with schools, including those in deprived areas, to help pupils rediscover the joy of learning, develop creativity and build confidence and self-esteem.

We are grateful to the Borrows Charitable Trust, Reed Educational Trust Limited, and the Big Give for their support.
