MISSION STATEMENT

The Ragamuffin Project is committed to the relief of emotional pain and psychological damage in children and adults. We work together with those who bring such relief to people who suffer in the UK and overseas by:

Providing a safe context in which they can address both the symptoms and the causes of their distress.
Expanding our work in the areas of: Creative Arts Therapy, Performance and Visual Art, Education and Training, through designing and delivering participative programmes promoting change, renewal and self-achievement.
Continuing to identify needs and develop effective programmes through a process of consultation, research and evaluation.
Actively developing reciprocal relationships with compatible organisations and communities within the UK and overseas.
Raising awareness and promoting the Arts Therapies by demonstrating their application and effectiveness.

"Our confidence in the Arts Therapies is based on its universality. To be creative is to be human. The arts form an essential element of our experience. People all over the world tell stories, dance and act, sing and draw. The Arts Therapies combine this innate capacity for creative expression with a variety of psychological theoretical models. Science meets art to produce an effective therapeutic treatment that is accessible to all."
