SEND

About.

A community arts organisation in Sneinton, Nottingham, working with young people and vulnerable adults since 2005.

Our mission

Enjoy. Create. Achieve.

SEND engages young people and vulnerable adults in creative experiences, inspiring them to raise their aspirations, overcome barriers and realise their potential.

The SEND Project is a community arts organisation based in Sneinton, Nottingham, providing workshops, courses and bespoke projects to young people and vulnerable adults across the East Midlands via outreach work, or through projects run from our modern studio facility at the Greenway Centre.

SEND was established in 2005, and has grown organically through adopting a local, community- based focus. Many of the staff and volunteer team live in the area and this creates a warm, positive environment for collective and individual development.

Just want to say a massive thank you for what you have done for "John"; you have helped him achieve his goals in art and if it wasn't for SEND I don't know where he would be. You have helped him with his attitude towards others and his behaviour - he is a completely different person and we thank you all.
