Charlotte's heart for young carers and children who carry additional responsibilities, ensures every child feels seen, supported, and empowered and have respect for themselves, others, and the world around them.

"I want to encourage children to care for their environment and understand the value of reusing and rescuing materials".

Artcycle is a community interest organisation bringing people together through creative craft-making workshops that transform waste materials into something useful, beautiful and full of potential.

By repurposing materials that would otherwise go in the bin, we encourage a can-do attitude, practical skills, environmental stewardship and entrepreneurial thinking. By unlocking the potential in discarded materials we can all build connection and opportunity.

Statement of Faith

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity and perfect humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His outpoured blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His personal return to power and glory.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit; by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe the Bible to be inspired in its entirety by God’s Spirit through human authors revealing God’s truth to humanity. All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

We believe in the personal and visible return in glory of the Lord Jesus Christ to raise the dead and bring salvation and judgement in final completion.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.

Nurturing for future generations

Creation for the heart, soul and mind
