Heartart

Chirnside, United Kingdom

Heartart was born out of my own experience with insomnia and the need to do something constructive but quiet during the night. The pictures started to mount up (I don't sleep much) so I decided to do something useful and asked a few friends with shops if they would 'stock' them and if they sold then we would create a fund so that we can support other people, especially young people who struggle with chronic illness.

The idea being that they can get art materials supplied and join our group. I went on to share this concept with a young lady who has epilespsy and she is already on the project. We have sold 5 so far, raising (after cost) £25 for the fund. The exciting thing is we have secured stockists in 5 shops and one stately home already! As we have only been going 4 weeks thats not a bad start.

Hearart is simple: we can change someone's life for the better, giving them a focus, friendship and support. Heartart is based and will remain in the Scottish Borders. So please buy our artwork or simply donate even £5, that's all we need, but please spread the word! and we will reach our target. Thank you.

we just expanded..... and the chances are we will outwardly too as we branch into baking and cakes with hearttart!! Many people who don't sleep including myself bake in the night! Hearttart is going to raise money by selling yummy things to eat, well, cake really! And we will then offer 'bake kits' as an alternative to art kits!!! woooooooo
