About Organisation

unique community charity

What we do:

Arts organisation dedicated to nurturing creativity, promoting social inclusion and making daring new art.

VISION // Everyone deserves a safe space in which they can explore, create and thrive.

MISSION //

INSPIRE - We inspire positive change in our community’s mental health and wellbeing. We turn their struggles into confidence through the arts. Our community is built on sharing, learning and growing from each other's lived experience.

CONNECT - We tackle isolation amongst marginalised groups by developing peer-to-peer connection. We invite them to grow our community and create lifelong friendships.

EXPLORE - We explore emotive and challenging subject matter through the arts. We maintain a safe space for our community to be bold; finding their voice, building resilience and developing daring new art.

EMPOWER - We empower our community to co-design all of our projects. This develops tangible skills, to support them in navigating personal and global challenges.

APPROACH //

Most people who find their way to Unique Community come from marginalised backgrounds, often having experienced significant trauma or social isolation.

We shape our welcoming community around their unique needs.

The personal stories and experiences of each person are entwined within every aspect of our programs, inspiring creative sessions that centre their perspectives.We invest in this approach through creating a safe, calm and prepared environment. An Arts Therapist/Wellbeing Officer supports every single one of our sessions.

We celebrate each individual as they are and encourage our community to celebrate each other. No one is left behind.

Our inclusive culture fosters creative exploration. In our small space, our community are empowered to tackle big things and better face the world beyond our walls. Our staff and members hold themselves and each other accountable. Our Ask and Our Conditions (detailed below) give them the vocabulary to do this.
