About us

Our history & purpose

In 2010 the four founder members of Articulate saw a real need in their local community for somewhere for people to come together to get to know their neighbours and develop a real sense of community spirit.  When they decided to focus on Arts and Crafts they had no idea of the breadth and depth of skills that existed among the community, nor that passion for creativity as an activity would be so great.

 

How we work

Articulate is a registered charity. We are run by volunteers and are dependent on donations and income generated from members of the group. Members are kept informed of developments our fortnightly email newsletter. We welcome members' feedback and comments as they help us to respond to the changing needs of the group.
