The Common Ground Collective exists to nurture wellbeing, provide purpose and build community through the arts.
What we do

We want to see people from all walks of life creating a gentler, purposeful and brighter life for themselves and the world around them.

We are working to achieve our vision through our art education programmes that incorporate art classes, supplementary skills training, mentorship and work experience.

Our programmes are designed to provide purpose and a creative outlet, as well as increasing a sense of belonging and community.

Our social enterprise exists to spread the joy of art far and wide, in addition to raising funds for the charities we work with.
Why art?
We believe that art can be used as a tool for building community, providing purpose and nurturing wellbeing.
Research has found that making art can activate reward pathways in the brain, reduce stress, lower anxiety levels and alleviate depression.
