We've got a vision for a more inclusive society, where everyone gets the chance to shine. We're helping to make that happen in York.

We’re a registered charity based in Chapelfields, York. We've been running arts and creative media learning projects in and around the city since 1982.

The people who take part in our projects include disabled young people and adults, older people living with dementia and memory loss and people with mental ill-health. We support their wellbeing by helping them develop the confidence and skills to connect with their local community and have more of a say in the things that matter to them.

And everyone has a lot of fun along the way!

I Like The Flowers

This is the perfect song to get your choir singing in parts and a firm favourite with our groups. It's a simple folk song that is often sung around the campfire as a round.
