Inside Out Community

Inside Out is an arts and mental health charity founded in 2003. We are committed to providing programmes throughout the year for people drawn to the therapeutic arts as a way of improving and sustaining their mental health and well being. Recipient of the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2021. We are based in Ipswich UK and our programmes take place at Eastern Angles Centre and DanceEast, Ipswich. Participants are mainly people recovering from periods of mental ill-health and those who live with a continuing vulnerability to episodes of psychological distress. Workshop programmes include: the visual arts, creative writing, singing, music, drama, and more, led by professional artists who share their skills in inspiring and supportive ways. If you live in the region and would like to join a programme please contact us. If you live some distance away but would like to connect with a creative community of people on a shared journey of recovery through the arts then please join us through our social network links. We believe that being part of a creative community can lead to the recovery of well being and to a confident re-engagement in life and we offer an invitation to you to explore that experience for yourself.
