Fabrica is turning 30 in 2026.

For three decades, we have opened our doors in Brighton and Hove so that everyone can experience the power of art. We believe art is for everyone. 

Across Sussex, we create safe and welcoming spaces for people living with low mental health, isolation, trauma, and suicidal thoughts. Spaces where connection grows. Spaces where creativity quite literally saves lives.

This April, our incredible team of runners is taking on the Brighton 10K to raise funds for Fabrica. Every kilometer they run is for the people who rely on our work.

We are asking each runner to raise £200. That single amount can make a tangible difference:

• Art materials and refreshments for ten creative sessions for people living with dementia and their carers in our Drawing and Making programme.

• Eight days of healthy, nutritious lunches for up to 100 children and families during the school holidays through Chomp at Fabrica.

• A creative gallery trip for men experiencing low mental health or at risk of suicide as part of our Men’s Creative Space at St Richard’s Community Centre.

• Materials for a six-week upcycling course supporting women facing extreme isolation through Renew and Repurpose.

• One and a half days of peer facilitator support for men living with severe mental illness in our GBTQ+ Men Who Create sessions.

• A full six-week sewing course place for a refugee or asylum seeker in our New Threads programme, building confidence, wellbeing, and connection in a trauma-informed women-only space.

Your donation becomes paint on a brush. A shared meal. A conversation that changes a life. A reason to keep going.

Please support our runners. Support Fabrica. Help us make our 30th year our most powerful yet.
