Venture Arts supports learning disabled people to reach their life potential through the visual arts. At its studio in Hulme, Manchester it runs a lively and varied programme led by professional artists. Every year the charity works with over 300 learning disabled people at its studio and through outreach and work programmes. People achieve magnificent things at Venture Arts and many of its learning disabled artists have incredible stories to tell. We really need your help to raise funds for Venture Arts so that we can buy much-needed new digital equipment, including iPads (crucial for the creative sessions) and to help fund urgent repairs to the arts studio. Team Venture Arts will be lining up on Sunday 24 May to take part in one of Manchester's best-loved participation events - the Great Manchester Run. They'll be running 10k to raise £10k in a supercharged effort to support a charity helping learning disabled people to gain confidence, learn skills and make friendships.
