Donate to Independent Arts
We need everyone’s support. As an Isle of Wight charity, Independent Arts does not always get the same funding from grant organisations as mainland charities and so we need your help.
Our sessions combat social isolation by bringing people together to talk, participate in a creative or performing art form, and most importantly, to enjoy themselves.
You can donate to Independent Arts securely online, by text, or even when you're shopping on the internet. Here are the details.
