Who we are

Mission, Values & Impact

Honeycombe Arts Hub is a registered charity giving children and young people in BCP a creative home — whatever their circumstances.

Why we exist

Our charitable objectives

Involve & inspire

To involve and inspire young people in BCP to engage with the arts and their community.

Provide creative activities

To provide creative and recreational activities for young people — prioritising those with particular need by reason of their age, disability, or social and economic circumstances — maximising their creative potential, social mobility and access to the creative industries.

Create safe spaces

To provide safe spaces for young people in the community to thrive and develop socially and artistically — with focus on wellbeing, radical inclusion, self-expression, resilience, confidence and community engagement.

100% goes to the kids

Make a donation

100% of public donations fund free arts activities for local children in need during the school holidays — a lifeline for parents who need urgent respite and are struggling emotionally, physically or financially.

It costs £69 per day, per child — including breakfast and a hot meal — to sponsor a child to attend. We currently have a waiting list for subsidised spaces and the capacity to expand. Please give generously.
