Art Kits

Creativity should be equally accessible to everyone. That is why we provide free art kits to disadvantaged high school pupils across the UK.

Young people shouldn't have to curb their creativity just because they don’t have access to the tools they need. Our range of art kits are all full of high-quality materials which are suitable for any pupils wishing to study Art & Design.

In 2023, we took over the art kits programme developed by Make Bank, a social project fighting creative poverty in UK schools. They worked with schools across the country to develop the range of kits - devised to meet the needs of all young people following the National Curriculum in Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales - which we now offer.

We look forward to continuing the meaningful work which Make Bank started.

There are 4 subject-specific kits to choose from - Art, Design, Photography and Textiles. They are all designed to support pupils aged 13 to 18 studying Art & Design across the UK.

Teachers can apply for free kits on behalf of one or several of their pupils. We are also open to applications from young people outside the schooling system. If you have any questions about eligibility for kits, please get in touch.
