Soft Touch uses the arts to offer people with limited opportunities the chance to work together to effect positive change for themselves and their communities. The majority of our work is with young people and is focused around providing opportunities for misrepresented or under-represented groups to communicate their experiences and ideas in a positive way. Projects use different creative media e.g. graphic design, music, drama, video and photography.

All of Soft Touch¡s work places an emphasis on personal development and the fostering of self-confidence. Participants from all faith and cultural backgrounds hear about Soft Touch through schools, youth clubs and various partner agencies.

Soft Touch has been running for 19 years and is an established part of the local community. It produces a biannual newsletter of projects and events. Updated information on current projects and upcoming events can be found on their website.
