Art Mentor for students with disabilities
About organisation / project
At the Together Trust, our vision is a society where people thrive because they are valued within their communities. Yet the road ahead for millions of people lies tangled and difficult to climb.
But they’re not alone.
For 150 years we’ve been championing and caring for people with disabilities, autism and complex health needs. And providing life-changing support for looked-after children and care-experienced people.
Today we’re one of the North West’s leading disability charities. We help children, young people, parents and carers, delivering individual care, support and education to thousands of people each year.
