Compass Community Arts is a multidisciplinary arts community that is led by Social Arts Practitioners. As a charity, we exist to combat exclusion even at its most benign level.
We recognise that supporting access, practice and engagement in the arts strengthens a person’s sense of identity and ability to build relationships.
We feel that people are most empowered when given independence, responsibility and are at the ‘giving’ end of care and we wish for everyone, who upholds this vision, to afford the time to be creative in exchange for improving our environment and the lives of people in our environment.

We run a mix of workshops, some are led by specialist art practitioners and others are led by the participants and volunteers. Our spaces are always safe, supportive and compassionate and provide new direction and skills in people’s lives. Professional and non-professional artists seek to exhibit, perform and publish collectively.
