Our Mission

Kaleido Arts for Wellbeing uses creative arts to bring wellbeing to people suffering because of war, discrimination, abuse and loss. We recognise that trauma and mental health issues affect people from all walks of life, and we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience freedom and joy through creativity.

Kaleido Arts for Wellbeing CIC

What difference do we make as Kaleido Arts?Here's just one example of the story of an asylum seeker whose life was deeply impacted by being part of one of our Writing for Wellbeing programmes.“I enjoyed all sessions, but I remember in particular a session where we tried to write haiku. Before that session, I thought I didn’t have any ability to write poems, but after that session I changed my mind because I could write about my feelings and I could feel my feelings when I wrote. Because of my situation and problems here, most of the time I have stress, but I try to control it by keeping myself busy. I try to reject my emotions like being homesick and missing my family. I try to be patient and strong. But when I attended your class, everything changed. "In your class I could feel my feelings. I cried. My experience was that I was able to feel all my emotions together in the Writing for Wellbeing class. It was my first time in the UK when I could cry in front of other people. All the time I try to be strong. When I’m on my own sometimes I cry and think about my problems, but in public no. I have made lots of friends here in the UK, and they all say, ‘You are strong, you have a glowing smile,’ but I think that most of them don’t know about the inside of me, but I could show myself here in this class. I’m really thankful for your class, your help and your support.” (Iranian woman, age 35)We've extended our crowdfunder deadline until 26th August. Please consider supporting us to help more men and women experience emotional release through our creative health programmes! ... See MoreSee Less
