A charity dedicated to providing therapeutic art sessions for young adults with additional needs is being launched by a local resident.

“When my daughter, Renee, left her special needs school, her vibrant social connections faded. That’s why I am launching ArtHouse Social, a space where 18- to 25-year-olds with additional needs can find their tribe,” said Nina Stafford, who is searching for a local venue to accommodate the sessions.

A fundraising disco will be held at the Heathcote and Star in Leytonstone on 25 April.
