New Brewery Hearts offers free and reduced-cost places on our courses and workshops for people who would benefit from the wellbeing, confidence and connection that regular creativity brings.
What our New Brewery Hearts students say
“Joining the course at New Brewery Arts was a turning point for me. Life felt empty — I had no routine or purpose. Now I look forward to my weekly sessions, and I’ve made a friend.”
“As a disabled person on benefits, I could never have afforded this experience. It’s made me feel worthy of something special — like someone believes in me.”
