Arts Transform 

Community Interest Company
we are a not-for-profit art therapy organisation based in Sheffield and investing in community projects
ABOUT

Arts Transform is a not-for-profit Art Therapy organisation. We work at a local level in partnership with other services and we are committed to improving the lives of residents in South Yorkshire

We have experience in providing Art Therapy in the health sector, in education and in the voluntary sector. We work with children, adults, older adults, those with mental health needs and people who have learning disabilities.

HOW ART THERAPY CAN HELP

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy which uses art making processes as a way of helping people. Art therapy can be helpful to anyone, young, old, disabled or able and everyone in between.

We believe that art therapy is an accessible and inclusive way to engage in psychological therapy.

WHAT WE DO

We specialise in group work and this can be particulary helpful for people who are isolated and find it difficult to access other services both locally or city wide. We know that it can be difficult to join a group and we have art therapists who are skilled at making this easier.

Making and sharing art can help people cope with social isolation, low mood, stress and anxiety. Coming to an art therapy group can help people develop positive coping skills as well as reducing loneliness. 

Engaging in art therapy can help people make changes that last long after the therapy ends.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

All Arts Transform therapists are registered with the Health Care and Professions Council [HCPC] and are members of the British Association of Art Therapists [BAAT] and have enhanced DBS certification.

Festive Wreath making


In December 2023 we  held a festive craft, wreath making workshop kindly funded with a Community Grant from the National Lottery. This was a popular event, well attended with lots of positive feedback and some truly beautiful Christmas wreaths being created. Thank you to Soar for a fantastic venue for this event and thank you to all who attended and helped to make this such a friendly and welcoming workshop. It was great to see our previous group members and lovely to meet new people as well. Hope to see as many of you as possible at future events and groups in the New Year!

We're looking for a home


we're looking to create an open studio space in Sheffield. We feel strongly in working in communities with residents but also believe that a base in the heart of the city would be more accessible to wider audiences. Watch this space!!
