The Cheltenham Create and Connect group is generously supported by The Barnwood Trust, who provide their beautiful space at Overton House and invaluable on‑hand support of Lidia.

We would also like to thank Councillor Glenn Andrews for supporting Art Shape in sustaining the delivery of Create and Connect in Cheltenham through a Gloucestershire County Council Grass Roots Grant during May - November 2026.
