We have changed so many lives thanks to our sponsors who have given us the ability to deliver these great projects. We now consider them part of our DNA.
‘VC LD Creatives’ is a project developed with The VC Gallery and The Anchorage SAC, which took place over September - November 2022.
The project explored the West Wales LD charter, the experiences and perspectives of artists with learning disabilities facilitating workshops for people with more profound learning disabilities and support staff.
Local charity The VC Gallery, is delighted to have been awarded these funds via the Living Well and Welcoming Community Spaces Fund to support its work within the community. The group, based in Haverfordwest and Pembroke Dock will use the money to run weekly breakfast clubs from its Haverfordwest branch.
‘VC LD Creatives’ is a project developed with The VC Gallery and The Anchorage SAC, which took place over September - November 2022.
The project explored the West Wales LD charter, the experiences and perspectives of artists with learning disabilities facilitating workshops for people with more profound learning disabilities and support staff.
Over thirteen weeks The VC Gallery delivered a series of mixed media art workshops with fourteen LD participants and four Anchorage staff members. All participants were based in and around Pembroke Dock with the majority accessing the services of The Anchorage weekly. Access was not limited to Anchorage customers and saw a further three participants from the community take part. The workshops took place in the ‘project’ room at the Pembroke Dock site.
The aim of the project was to engage with LD clients using the innovative approach of LD facilitators. To improve the skills of artists, support staff and participants whilst keeping the aims of the West Wales LD Charter as the main perspective.
This VC Gallery project was inspired by the LD Charter https://www.ldcharter.com/ and gives everyone with a learning disability a chance to join in and try many different art techniques.
Sessions run from the 6th of September’22 for 12 weeks at The VC Gallery Pembroke Dock, 9:30 am until 3:30pm.
