Helium Arts

About Helium

All children and young people deserve a good childhood. For those living with long-term physical health conditions, that right is often interrupted. Many face loneliness, stress, and anxiety, and can feel defined or limited by their condition.

How we do it

Helium is a charity inspiring children and young people with long-term physical health conditions to imagine, create, and grow. Through free, fun arts experiences, we:

• Spark creativity
• Build confidence
• Nurture friendships
• Open doors to new opportunities

We meet children where they are:

• In hospital – artists turn waiting time into a chance to imagine and create
• In the community – free creative workshops close to home
• Online – art experiences that keep creativity going wherever children are

Together with their families, Helium supports children and young people to unlock their potential and imagine more—beyond the limitations of their health challenges.

The Difference We Make

Our work helps young people feel supported, accepted, valued, and respected.

Helium reignites imagination in safe, creative spaces, giving children and young people the belief and resilience to approach life with confidence and hope.
