Get Involved

Help us make a difference in our community by getting involved with Purple Loft Project!

If you appreciate what we at Purple Loft Project are doing and would like to get involved, there are various ways you can do so, and any help offered is always very much appreciated. Here’s how you can help…

Advisory panel and management commitee

It is important to us that Purple Loft Project is overseen by people with lived experience, and that we include a wide variety of views in our decision making.  If you understand the benefits of being creative for mental health and wellbeing and have some experience of mental health struggles and/or low-income, please get in touch.  We are in the process of forming an advisory panel of volunteers to shape the activities of the organisation and would really value our input.  If you have additional experience in admin, finance, business management, etc. we also have some spaces on our management committee.  

Donate

We are so grateful for any donations towards Purple Loft Project.  You can donate financially to the project through PayPal, either as a one-off or monthly donation. 

We accept donations of good-quality materials to add to our creative library eg craft kits, sewing materials, unused colouring books, wool, etc.  If you have something you’d like to donate, please get in touch.

If you are a creative in Shetland who would like to offer your time and skills to provide free workshops or mentoring to others, we’d love to hear from you to discuss your ideas further.

If you are a local business who would like to sponsor Purple Loft Project’s activities or provide brand-new materials for our creativity packs, please give us a call or email.
