Our Impact

Taking part in arts activities can have a lasting and transformative effect on the lives of young people. Arts activities have been proven to:

• Increase confidence
• Build self-esteem
• Raise aspirations
• Develop communication skills
• Improve life chances

What our families say:

“Z-arts are really inclusive with our ideas. It makes us feel like we really fit in… our ideas want to be heard and our ideas really matter.”

“I love coming to Z-arts because the activities and classes here allow me to express my personality and open my mind to the world of creativity.”

“Z-arts has made arts and theatre particularly accessible to my family, it’s been inclusive to my child with SEN and recaptured my love for the arts.”

“My 6-year-old has autism. It can be isolating and it’s great finding a home from home somewhere.”

“Z-arts has given my daughter the opportunity to be a dancer and performer, which otherwise I feel she would have missed out on due to our financial situation. It is an amazing place and I don’t know what we would have done if we hadn’t found it.”
