Escape Arts
For 25 years Escape Arts has embedded high impact community arts and heritage practice across Warwickshire. Escape Arts became a charity in 2003, as a result of two local organisations: Escape Workshop, founded by Robin Wade in 1997 and Community Art in Action, founded by Karen Williams the same year, joining forces under a shared vision: bringing people together through creativity to address isolation, improve wellbeing and build strong, vibrant, inclusive and happy communities.

ILEAP works with people aged from 4 years and over and delivers a children's programme, a youth programme and an adult programme of inclusive leisure activities. ILEAP members generally have a mild / moderate learning disability although anyone with Additional Needs is welcome to join.
Lifespace Trust
Lifespace is a youth charity that supports the wellbeing of young people (7 to 19) so that they have the self-esteem, resilience and confidence to thrive. Our office is in Stratford-upon-Avon and we work across South/Mid Warwickshire. We're celebrating our 18th Birthday in 2022!
We believe that young people are amazing and should be able to get the support they need as soon as life gets tough and for as long as they need it. This is part of our Vision, Mission and Values which we refreshed in 2021 with young people, staff and volunteers.
New Meaning Learning
We’re based in Stratford-upon-Avon but our work reaches out across Warwickshire, Coventry and the West Midlands. New Meaning Training Warwickshire opened its doors in June 2021,
We provide further education in Warwickshire for post sixteens as well as training and work experience for people with an EHCP.
Our aim is to help young people to make progress with their learning and feel inspired about their future, becoming either work-ready or taking their learning journey onto the next step.
