Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could give me some much needed advice as I am not sure what to do. I was an Artist in residence at a creative arts and well being centre called START in Manchester. (http://www.startinsalford.org.uk/) Where I worked with adults and children with learning difficulties. I am looking for similar opportunities in London on a full/part time basis. I currently volunteer at Action Space in Holborn which is an independant charity supporting beginning, emerging and established artists with learning difficulties. I came across your website and thought I would get in touch to see if you could offer me any advice that will help me to achieve work within this area. As this area of work is where I would like to pursue a career as it means a lot to me. Any advice you could provide would be much appreciated.

Try looking on national autistic society or mencap websites, they might be better placed to advise, good luck

    Poppy has very little fine motor skills and struggles with most art and craft activities. So I stuck some wrapping paper to the wall and we made hand prints on it.  Then we covered in glue and threw glitter at.  Messy but great fun!
