Additionally we nurture our young people’s talent and self-worth by recognising our most determined artists with the ’The HvH Arts Scholarship’. This is a programme which concentrates on each and every individual scholar to develop their skills to a level to gain entry into colleges and universities in which we support them with our courses, resources and materials to enhance study in their chosen medium.
We are also proud to represent a Youth Ambassadors Board of young people aged 14 to 21 years. Youth Ambassadors demonstrate great discipline in their chosen art form, promote good mental health awareness, and support other young people on our progressive programmes such as TMMP and the HVH ARTS Scholarship Programme.
In the face of rising youth mental health challenges, we have launched a new initiative that utilises creative expression as a tool for healing. Our Mental Health Exploratory Art Pilot Programme delivered one-on-one monthly art sessions to children aged 5 – 18 who have been long-time participants of HvH Arts. These children face emotional and social challenges, and this programme offers them a safe, consistent space to express themselves and build confidence.

“Engagement with the arts enhances self-expression and increases self awareness, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. Over time, this builds resilience, improves problem-solving, and enhances prosocial behaviour. It also provides a safe space for self-expression and encourages non-verbal mechanisms for sharing, which can be particularly helpful while working with vulnerable populations or youth with experiences of trauma”
