The Paint Pot funds the materials children use in EdShift sessions. Your donation helps keep these materials ready for Art Therapy, group work, youth club activities, and creative support at The YouthBase.

For many children affected by domestic abuse, talking directly about what has happened can feel too painful, confusing, or overwhelming. Art materials offer another way to communicate through colour, texture, movement, making, and play.
The Paint Pot keeps those materials available whenever a child needs them.
