SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH DURING COVID-19 CRISIS

The visual arts can significantly contribute to the wellbeing of everyone suffering with mental health problems. We know there are many people across the country whose mental health and access to care has been affected by the Covid-19 virus. Many have lost love ones, are isolated, lonely, and worrying about the future. Therefore, we want to support Portugal Prints, a therapeutic art programme, run by mental health charity Mind in Brent, Wandsworth and Westminster. They run creative workshops, gallery visits, education, training, volunteering and work opportunities, and are continuing to support their community through the Covid-19 crisis. Please donate to help Portugal Prints provide critical mental health care during this time. For further information and advice about to manage your own mental health during Covid-19 visit www.bwwmind.org.uk Registered charity number: 292708

Quotes and Testimonials

  • 'My son Charlie and I were taken round the National Gallery by Rose Balston, and in three brief hours, we were inspired to levels of wonder. Rose has the gift of allowing you to discover things in the paintings that you would never have noticed before…I’d strongly recommend you join an Art History UK tour'. 
    Mark Hedges | Country Life Magazine
  • 'Small groups, passionate guides, enlightening conversations: these are the three ingredients that go into making Art History UK such a treat…it is not about lectures and seminars (though it is deeply educating): the focus is on bringing London’s treasures – the galleries and the museum – to life'.
    Conde Nast Traveller
  • 'We had a wonderful time last night indeed!! We’ve had a great experience with you since the beginning; the options that you have suggested, your willingness to understand who we are and what will suit us, your flexibility… Bianco was great in terms of atmosphere, food and service and our ladies really enjoyed it. And last but definitely not least…Catherine…I personally didn’t join the tour but I keep getting emails about how wonderful she was. Thanks for everything'.

  • Thank you so much for a hugely enjoyable, informative and entertaining afternoon in Mayfair yesterday. We all take London, her streets and the buildings for granted so it was very special for you to share your unending knowledge contained within them. You resurrected so many characters and their lives for us and we both left hungry for more…You have a wonderful way of bringing history to life, thank you. (Mayfair tour)
