Cartwheel Arts receive funding boost

Cartwheel Arts are thrilled to announce that they are a recipient of the 2023 Greater Manchester Culture Fund. The Culture Fund supports organisations that are committed to providing high quality cultural experiences and opportunities, supporting the sector through challenging economic times and to widen and diversify access to arts culture for all residents.

Cartwheel Arts delivers ‘Art for a Reason’. This means they engage local communities with arts projects that support their health and wellbeing, foster positive connections within neighbourhoods, engage children and young people, and support life-long learning and skills - all with the view to generating social change.

The funding will be primarily used to resource Cartwheel's Art for Wellbeing programme, providing tailored creative activities to children, young people and adults at all stages of life, from earlyyears creative sessions with refugee and asylum-seeking families, to enhancing creativity within schools and the local youth provision, to engaging adults who experience mental ill-health, poverty and racial inequalities.

This funding represents not only a commitment to supporting arts in the region but also an endorsement of the artists and partners we work with and an investment in the wonderful, creative, hardworking communities we work with.
