Heart n Soul
is an award winning creative arts company based in London.Β
We believe in the power and talents of people with learning disabilities. We provide the creative spaces for disabled and non-disabled artists and participants to come together and develop and share their ideas. Our work is about art, taking part, training and sharing.
We offer a range of opportunities for people to take part, train in a new skill or develop their artistic talents. Artists and participants create work and perform live, recorded or online for as many different people to enjoy as possible.
Our vision is of people with a learning disability living full and equal lives with independence, freedom and pride.
