The Foundation Gallery and Arts Hub in Leigh opened around a year ago, and has since created an awesome space for kids and adults alike to unleash their creativity. 

Foundation is a place that provides an educational opportunity for everyone, artists, enthusiasts, amateurs and most particularly local children, to enhance learning and engage in positive individual and collaborative works that strengthen the community spirit of Leigh and its surrounding areas. Now, the Foundation is asking this community for help fundraising so that these opportunities remain.

The money raised will assist them continuing what they have largely funded privately, helping with development of the two-year teaching program, buying materials, accessing much needed help on larger scale projects, restoring their bumble bee window and generally lightening the load.

As for many small businesses, 2020 has been a very uncertain year for the Foundation Gallery and Arts Hub. Funding assistance will help ensure that they are able to continue and develop.

“We believe that our programme offers many positive benefits to a wide range of people and it would be a very great shame if we were unable to carry on.”
