Welcome!
Hope in the Heart is a London-based social enterprise whose skilled and qualified staff and directors all have lived experience of mental health and associated issues. We are committed to using our personal experience and wider knowledge to support others who may be struggling, inform and educate people in power and influence positive change.
We do this by providing free and subsidised creative community workshops, plus affordable training and events nationally and internationally. We are always keen to collaborate (see some collaborators' testimonials here).
We have a unique collection of incredible art created by project participants which regularly features in our Messages from the HeART exhibitions in collaboration with partner organisations, and can be loaned or hired.
Exhibitions, in London and Plymouth, have taken place at venues including Battersea Arts Centre, Queen Mary University (Insider/Outsider Conference), Methodist Central Hall (the Citizens UK Mayoral Accountability Assembly), the University of Central London (UCL), the Royal College of Psychiatrists, Devonport Guildhall and Ocean Studios, Royal William Yard, Plymouth, and Devonport Guildhall, Plymouth.
We are always delighted to offer affordable workshops, courses, training and events to or in collaboration with other organisations. Please contact [email protected] with any queries and visit this page for more information about Messages from the HeART and this page to see more of the artwork featured at the exhibitions.
Short videos featuring stories and images by HITH participants can be found here (or scroll down for examples*).
