Support Us
As a small charity, we need your support to help us deliver our life enhancing work. Every year, we have to raise over £100,000 – any donation you make can have a huge impact.
We have 15 years’ experience pioneering inclusive and creative learning opportunities for learning-disabled people in Yorkshire. Your support can help us go further and reach more people with our innovative work.
There are a number of ways you can support us, and we’re very grateful for anything that you can offer. Click on the buttons below to find out more:

Where Your Money Goes
When you donate to Purple Patch Arts, you help us to create magic!
By raising money for us, you can improve the lives of learning-disabled people by supporting them to access our joyful and innovative learning opportunities, which expands their understanding of, and engagement with the world. Every donation made helps to increase our stability as an organisation, allowing us to continue delivering our Lifelong Learning Programmes and developing new, exciting projects that respond to identified needs within the community we serve.
