Organised by Time Out with support from Curious Motion, the project is about more than just art—it’s about supporting children’s mental health through creativity and community. Part of local mental health charity Healthy Minds, Time Out provides opportunities for young people to express themselves, connect with others, and find activities that support their wellbeing.
"Creative expression is a powerful way for children to explore their emotions and feel connected to their community," said Kate Edwards, Time Out Service Manager. "The Art Trail not only showcases their incredible talent but also highlights how art can support mental health and wellbeing."
The Art Trail and workshops are funded by Culturedale, supporting creative opportunities across Calderdale.
