Grant to establish Bracknell disabled arts scheme
Bracknell Forest Borough Council has awarded a £500 grant to help establish a
creative arts programme for disabled people at South Hill Park Arts Centre.
The grant was made to InnerSense, a local Bracknell charity which was established in 2006, to help the development of disabled people through creative arts.
Each week, professional artists, dancers, actors and musicians will use multi-sensory techniques, including visual, audio and touch, to engage and stimulate their audience.
It is hoped the audience will come from the borough’s care homes, day centres, schools for pupils with special educational needs, and disabled residents.
The work will be closely monitored and the results sent to other arts and disability organisations.
Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure and Corporate Services, said: "We are delighted to support a creative arts project with such potential to enhance the lives of our disabled residents.
"I am optimistic that the arts programme will be both enjoyable and beneficial and will add to our knowledge and skills and that what we learn from such a course will be of benefit to similar schemes elsewhere.”
