About Us
Our Mission
Established in 2017, Radiate Arts is an inclusive, not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to fostering creativity, community wellbeing, and social inclusion. Working across Cheshire, Radiate Arts provides marginalised and underrepresented groups with access to meaningful creative experiences and since its inception, has been committed to supporting diverse communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals, armed forces veterans, families affected by domestic abuse, people recovering from addiction, and people experiencing mental health challenges.   
​
We work extensively with isolated older adults, disabled people, and young people managing anxiety and depression. This wide scope of engagement reflects Radiate Arts' mission to use creativity as a tool for healing, connection, and self-expression. We are committed to using creativity to engage diverse communities, break down barriers to participation, and celebrate the creativity and cultural heritage of the people and areas that we serve. 
We partner with a broad range of stakeholders, including schools, universities, libraries, charities, and local councils, building a network of collaborations that amplify the positive outcomes of our work throughout our communities.   
Our Steering Group
Radiate Arts’ Steering Group is made up of team members, including dedicated volunteers, board members and representatives from other community organisations. Together, they provide support, challenge and guidance to the leadership team, helping shape the direction and future of Radiate Arts.
​
We welcome people who want to volunteer their time, share their perspective and help shape Radiate Arts as an open, inclusive organisation rooted in the communities we serve.
