Welcome to
Nene Art School
C.I.C.
Nene Art School C.I.C is a non-profit organisation providing new weekly after-school/out-of-school sessions for young people 8-18 years to come along and promote health and wellbeing whilst enjoying various arts and crafts.
Sessions are led by professional and experienced volunteers.
Here we provide a safe space for young people to meet, make friends and to enjoy arts including professional tutoring. While choosing from different activities during the session, young people can express themselves, make new friends, and enjoy some games together.
Our sessions at Nene Art School C.I.C are designed to help students develop their health, wellbeing, and artistic skills together with some professional tips in a supportive, holistic and inspiring environment.
The volunteers naturally embody a kind and caring approach, with a deep understanding of how to support children from diverse abilities, backgrounds, religions, and more. We work closely with migrant communities too.
Also, we support our special needs' students. The team ensures that everyone’s needs are met here, by providing individual support to everyone who needs it. Nene Art School C.I.C. is welcoming everyone no matter their visible/invisible disabilities. We are an inclusive community interest company!
