“I can attest to the immense quality of Nine Elms Arts Ministry’s accessible arts projects, which are characterised by conscientious curation and careful evaluation. Their collaborative approach has been an invaluable tool for public empowerment in the community. For them, community cohesion and inclusivity aren’t just outcomes, but are built into the very means through which their projects are designed and delivered. With over five years of activities, they possess deep roots in our community and the proven capacity for accelerating positive change and drawing people together from a diversity of backgrounds.”

“It has been fantastic working with Nine Elms Arts Ministry since it was established in 2018. We have delivered a range of incredibly impactful projects together for local people, but the one that stands is the Create and Learn Play Kits - delivered to families with primary school children in digital poverty over the lockdowns. Betsy’s passion and drive in this collaborative project between 15 cultural organisations, the council, and schools, was crucial in getting this project off the ground and being able to continue to develop it over the various lockdowns and support almost 4000 children.”
