One Donation, Twice the Impact: Help us raise £10,000 for our Happy Families & Happy Mondays sessions 

Campaign live from 18 – 25 March 

For one week only, every donation you make will be matched, meaning we can raise £10,000 together to fund our vital creative sessions for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEN+D) and their families. 

What is Happy Families & Happy Mondays? 

For many children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEN+D), access to cultural and creative activities is limited. Many venues are not equipped to meet their needs, making school trips and art workshops rare or impossible. 

At the RWA (Royal West of England Academy), we believe that art should be for everyone. That’s why we run Happy Families and Happy Mondays, specialist creative sessions designed specifically for children with SEN+D and their families. 

These calm, inclusive, and expertly led sessions take place when the gallery is closed to the public, offering families a unique opportunity to engage with art in a safe and welcoming space. 

Why We Need Your Support 

From 18 – 25 March, we’re running a one-week fundraising campaign to secure these essential sessions for future generations. 

Your donation will help cover the essential costs of: 

🎨 Artist-facilitators who deliver expert-led creative sessions 
🎨 Specialist materials and equipment tailored to diverse needs 
🎨 Access provisions to ensure families feel comfortable and supported 

And right now, your donation goes even further! 

Your £1 turns into £2, £5 into £10, £50 into £100 - you get the gist!  
The Big Give Art for Impact campaign and other donors have pledged to match the first £5000 we raise - meaning your contribution doubles in impact.
