A little late posting… but worth celebrating!
In August 2025, Artish Huddersfield CIC achieved the Quality for Youth Bronze Award.
It stretched us (and our paperwork skills 😅), but it means something serious:
Our young people can trust that we’re in this for the long haul — with strong systems, safe practice, and real commitment to our community.
Thank you KYA and Kirsty for walking it with us.

YAY!

SUPPORTING AND EDUCATING YOUNG PEOPLE
Isolation can affect anyone — young people, adults, families and workplaces.
We create welcoming spaces where people feel seen, heard and connected.
Through creative workshops delivered in community settings, homes and workplaces, we spark conversation, build confidence and strengthen relationships.
This isn’t just about making art.
It’s about building belonging.
It’s about strengthening our community.
Because connection changes lives.

I wanted to send a huge thank you for the fantastic Crochet and Digital Design sessions you have run with our students over this academic year. We've had really positive feedback, and it's clear they got a lot out of your time and expertise.

I’ve been involved with at Artish sessions for a few years now and over this time I’ve worked on many different projects  including perspective drawing and shading, watercolour techniques, 
ink and embroidery on fabric and way more. As well as teaching these Diane has also help guide us with our own ideas building on our skills. Session are always fun informative and full of great conversations. I’d recommend Diane’s session to any person or group wanting to improve or learn  new skills.
