Supporting and enabling creative and diverse projects that benefit our local communities
Whoop, 10 people have pledged since fundraising began!

The Kindness Studio started as an initiative to counter the pandemic through kindness in Art. We believe in using art to educate the next generation to be kind and love Planet Earth - help us grow! 💚
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
Following our success with the Elderly workshop with Age UK and Children Workshop with the Westminster Library, The Kindness Studio would like to grow this project further by developing original content and provide 10 free art workshops for both the elderly and children community in Westminster. Running in Marylebone library since 2019, the kindness studio will organise 5 free monthly workshop for the children. Each month the workshop will focus on a theme such as zero waste, upcycling, endangered animals, to inspire the young minds to be kind to Mother Earth . Working with Memory Cafe and Aged UK, the kindness studio will also organise 5 workshop for the elderly. Designed with a Neurologist, the activities will target to help the elderly to combat neurodegenerative disease by improving their memories, mobility through calligraphy & Pastel Art therapy. It can be an opportunity for the elderly to make new friends and improve their quality of life through art.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
- Promote inclusivity by attracting a more diverse and intergenerational audience with the free workshop. - Foster Community spirit by providing an activity for the community to come together and make new friends. - To inspire the local community to think about Kindness through Art. - To educate the young mind about climate change and do their part to a carbon neutral future through upcycling art workshop. - to improve the elderly quality of life by encouraging activities to combat neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's, Alzheimers and Down Syndrome. - To broaden the community with new skills and culture through art - Chinese Calligraphy, Japanese Nagomi Art. - To provide Art as a form of therapy for participant who might be suffering from isolation, or bullying in school. - Publicity of Westminster library, Ebury Edge and other Westminster venues such as Regent Hall as a community venue.
