Since 2009, Purple Patch Arts has existed to improve the lives and life chances of people with learning disabilities, complex needs and autism by providing innovative, inclusive, creative learning experiences for them and the professionals who support them.
We support adults and young people with learning disabilities, complex needs and autism to engage with new experiences and reach their full potential.
Our experienced staff provide inclusive, fun, informal learning opportunities that are designed to be accessible to all.
We use The Purple Patch Approach, which includes creative methods such as art, drama, music, movement and multi-sensory activity.
We believe that everyone should have access to meaningful learning opportunities that are fun, exciting and engaging.
Our innovative approach means that we can work with a sense of adventure, adapting to the needs of our participants and creating environments where people can thrive.
People are supported to enjoy learning, to express themselves creatively, to build social connections and to challenge themselves and the preconceptions of others.
