This festive season, we want to raise £3,000 to support our new online programmes that ensure artists like Aysen are able to continue to see their friends, develop their skills and talents and have fun. Throughout December, donations over £15 will receive exclusive thank you gifts, including a heart patch designed by artist Ifeoma for donations over £15, and for donations over £35, a limited edition New North Press print featuring designs inspired by slogans created by our artists (design selected at random). Please note we cannot send anything to anonymous donors. Full details below!

2020 has been a tumultuous year. For many of the people who access Heart n Soul programmes and attend our events, it has been particularly difficult. People with learning disabilities have suffered with both increased social isolation and an increased risk from Covid-19.

Two weeks after lockdown was announced on 23 March, Heart n Soul ran our first online Allsorts session. Since then Heart n Soul at Home has gone from strength to strength, with all our Taking Part programmes now accessible online. These activities provide a vital lifeline to our participants, helping them stay creative and connected throughout the pandemic. Help us continue our work into 2021 and beyond!

Thank you gift T&Cs: Between 1 December - 31 December, non-anonymous donations over £15 will receive a heart patch, designed by Ifeoma. The first 35 donations over £35 will receive a limited edition New North Press print (design selected at random), featuring designs inspired by slogans created by our artists - we will update when all the posters have gone. Patches and posters will be sent to the billing address entered on JustGiving; we are unable to send anything to anonymous donors. Please note that both the patches and posters are thank you gifts in exchange for a festive donation and will be sent after the fundraiser ends on 31 December. Neither will arrive by Christmas.
