In 2021, following the Covid-19 pandemic the Feeling Safe Project was born.
This project aimed to support Young People’s Mental Health and Well-being through the Arts. This has been a key focus of Oxygen’s work and we succeeded in delivering a range of vibrant projects all five Oxfordshire districts with a broad range of art practitioners and organisations. This programme was generously funded by Artswork & Supporting Young Minds investment programme and the COMF fund.
Feeling Safe worked with:
3114 young people,
38 schools
36 artists and art organisations
and trained 164 teachers.
