We are proud to be a Trinity Champion Centre, delivering Arts Award for over 16 years with a 100% pass rate. Our experienced team supports children and young people to achieve these nationally recognised arts qualifications, building creativity, confidence, and leadership.

Arts Award is open to everyone, whether your passion is drama, music, art, or performance, and is designed to be accessible for all abilities.

Completing an Arts Award not only celebrates your creativity but also enhances communication, teamwork, and leadership skills—qualities that will support you in school, college, work, and beyond. Join our supportive community and start your Arts Award journey with expert guidance every step of the way.

Building Community Through Creativity

We love working alongside community groups, youth organisations, and local partners to make creativity accessible to even more people. Whether it’s running regular classes, special workshops, or creative projects for adults, young people, and children, we tailor our sessions to meet the needs of each group.

By bringing performing arts and creative learning into the heart of the community, we help build confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging for everyone involved. If you’re part of a community organisation looking to offer inspiring arts activities, we’d be excited to collaborate with you, get in touch to find out how we can work together.

At A Mind Apart, we celebrate everyone’s unique story and joyfully welcome people from all walks of life. Whether you’re a parent, a young person, or an adult wanting to reconnect with creativity, you’ll find a place to belong, grow, and shine.
