Heart n Soul

Heart n Soul Heart n Soul is a creative community of people with and without learning disabilities Heart n Soul is an award-winning creative arts company. WHAT DO WE DO?

We believe in the talents and power of people with learning disabilities. We provide creative spaces for disabled and non-disabled artists and participants to come together and develop and share their ideas. Our work is about art, training, taking part and sharing. Our vision is of people with a learning disability living full and equal lives with independence, freedom and pride. We offer a range of opportunities for people to take part, train in a new skill, or develop their artistic talents. Artists and participants share their work live, recorded or online for as many different people to enjoy as possible. We make inclusive creative spaces where people are free to express themselves and learn. We encourage experimentation in all things. KEY ARTISTS include award-winning singer songwriters D.M.S. and Lizzie Emeh, bands Too Hot For Candy and Electric Fire, rapper and producer K-Dog and singer songwriter Sam Castell-Ward. KEY EVENTS include the multimedia club nights The Beautiful Octopus Club, for adults, and Squidz Club for young people. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

Our way of working has grown over twenty-five years of working with people with learning disabilities to make outstanding art and change happen. People with a learning disability are involved in real roles in every part of Heart n Soul. We believe that people are capable of more, and use this as the starting point for all engagement. We work with partner organisations to achieve our goals so that we may share our vision widely and in a sustainable way. Heart n Soul is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. We receive about a third of our income from Arts Council England. We raise the remainder from ticket sales and other earned income, donations from individuals and grants from charitable trusts and foundations.
