School children get creative at after school arts club

School children have been honing their creative skills in an arts project designed to improve their health and wellbeing.

Starting in October 2018, children from Fiddlers Lane Community Primary School attended weekly after school art sessions to explore different artists and techniques, inspiring them to create their own artwork. This led to an exhibition at Eccles Art Gallery to showcase the young artists’ work to their proud families.

The project, funded by NHS Salford Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) through Salford CVS's Healthy Schools Fund, helps the children achieve an Arts Award Explore, a level 3 qualification certificated by Trinity College, London.
