Company activities and impact

The Company’s Activities and Impact During the financial year, Sarah Barker Art Studios CIC has delivered a range of inclusive creative activities designed to benefit individuals and communities across Cornwall, particularly those facing barriers to participation due to disability, health conditions, or social isolation. Our core activities have included the delivery of accessible art workshops, community engagement sessions, and outreach programmes in partnership with local organisations, schools, and community groups. These sessions have provided opportunities for participants to explore creativity, build confidence, and develop new skills in a supportive and inclusive environment. A key area of impact has been improving wellbeing. Participants have reported reduced feelings of isolation, increased self-esteem, and improved mental health through regular engagement in creative activities. Our sessions are designed to be fully inclusive, ensuring that people with complex disabilities can participate meaningfully, which remains a significant gap in many mainstream arts provisions. We have also contributed to community cohesion by bringing together diverse groups of people who may not otherwise interact. Our work encourages understanding, inclusion, and shared experiences through creativity. In addition, the company has supported the development of volunteers, providing training and hands-on experience in facilitating inclusive sessions. This has helped build local capacity and skills within the community, particularly for those interested in arts, care, and community work. Through exhibitions, events, and partnerships, we have also raised awareness of disability-led art and challenged perceptions around disability and creativity, helping to promote a more inclusive cultural landscape. Overall, the company’s activities have created meaningful social impact by improving wellbeing, increasing access to the arts, developing skills, and strengthening community connections.
