Who We Are
"Our heart is to build confidence, wellbeing, inclusion, and community connection through creativity."
David Harp Community Service Association is a Middlesbrough-based creative charity using music, art, craft, and therapeutic creative learning to support children, young people, families, and vulnerable groups across Teesside.
We believe creativity is a route to confidence — a way for people who have been overlooked, isolated, or struggling, to find their voice, be heard, and belong to something bigger than themselves.
