Tactile Arts specialise in creative intergenerational and community based projects that are fun, inclusive and educational.

What we do is

Bring young and older people together on creative projects that are enjoyable, mutually beneficial, promote greater understanding and challenge ageist stereotypes.
Develop projects that help people to celebrate and preserve their memories of a place, time, event or a loved one.
Deliver workshops where community members can create fashion pieces from junk, dance costumes or a communal textile hanging.
We also offer a consultancy service for community groups who want to develop their own creative intergenerational projects or programmes of work.

The projects that Tactile Arts develop help to raise self esteem, reduce social isolation, improve mental health, challenge negative stereotypes and provide opportunities for learning. Tactile Arts staff are friendly, welcoming and non judgemental.

“What I love about my work is when ‘magic happens’; that something extra that I hadn’t planned for, such as young and older people wanting to keep in touch after a project has finished
