Jordan Hume and Kathleen Dickie are gearing up for an exciting skydive to raise funds for The Little Art Stars and The Dementia Arts Trust, two charities under the umbrella of the Ayr-based Little Art School. The school, which has been operating for ten years, offers home schooling and after-school art classes for individuals ranging from six years old to the elderly.
The Little Art Stars: Supporting Vulnerable Children in Ayrshire
The Little Art Stars works with schools in South and East Ayrshire to help vulnerable children build confidence and develop social skills, while The Dementia Arts Trust provides art education to elderly residents in local care homes. Both Jordan and Kathleen are deeply involved in these charitable initiatives and are passionate about raising funds to support their efforts.
