​Creative Henley CIC works with schools and local community groups to deliver creative projects that connect young people and communities to Henley-on-Thames, its high street, and its shared public spaces.

​

Our schools and community work uses the arts as a way to:

• encourage creativity and confidence  

• support wellbeing and participation

• connect learning to place

• strengthen relationships between schools, families, and the town                       

​

Projects are designed collaboratively and delivered by professional artists, with activity tailored to the needs of each school or group.

​​​​
