WE RESTART delivers the Art Sanctuaries Programme in Home Office temporary accommodations, providing creative and cultural workshops for asylum seekers and refugees. The programme is designed to address their immediate and long-term needs, using the arts as a platform for expression, healing, and integration into society.
In 2023, we launched our first programme at a hotel in Wembley, delivering weekly art classes for adults and children. The success of this initiative has allowed us to expand to three locations: Brent, Barnet and Harrow on the Hill. We deliver weekly classes both for adults and children, from visual arts to theatre and music.
Asylum-seekers often face significant barriers, including isolation, trauma, and uncertainty. These challenges are exacerbated by the limited opportunities for creative expression and social engagement within temporary accommodations.
Our experience shows that art programmes provide vital relief, allowing participants to share their stories, explore their identities, and connect with others.
