In 2017 two passionate creatives (That's us!) put our heads together and worked on a plan to put everything we had done individually for many years under one name, as new mums we used every minute we had spare between changing nappies and singing nursery rhymes, designing logos, writing business plans until one day whilst eating pizza in a local restaurant 'ReachOut Arts' was born.

 

At ReachOut Arts we offer creative support and facilitation to schools & community groups as well as business and corporate groups with a strong focus on building self confidence.

​

Creating tailored packages to suit your theme, time frame, budget and learning outcomes.

Both of us have many years experience working around the world with students aged early years right through to adult education. We take pride in training the ReachOut team meaning we are confident in creating and delivering programmes that match our ethos

 'Building Confidence Creatively'

​

Having grown rapidly in our first few years we now offer complete programme of creative support to you, your settings and businesses.

​

ReachOut Educate is our provision for educational settings with options for nursery to adult education. Our specialisms are Anti Bullying and Living History with our Medieval Days programme - focusing on Tudor, Viking, Roman & Middle Ages. We also offer Bespoke programmes to suit your topic.

​

ReachOut Creative is our creative consultancy, offering a creative eye for you and your business, focusing on event management and planning for a successful programme or marketing project.

​

When we were both in primary school some of our fondest memories were when external visitors came into our classroom and we would love to be 'that' memory for the students we work with whilst in your setting. 

​

Since 2020, we have ramped up our history offering by having the pleasure of continuing the good work that Peter Balanck started many years ago delivering workshops under the 'Medieval Days' name, Peter handed over the baton to us and we are delighted to be able to take our workshops to another level with a large collection of artefacts and replica items. 

​

We are very proud to have a wonderful team of talented artists and teachers working alongside us and look forward to working with clients old and new in the future.

​

​

As of 2025 we are proud to now be registered as a CIC.

​

At ReachOut Arts CIC, our mission is to build confidence creatively, using education and creativity as tools for empowerment and inclusion. As we transition into a Community Interest Company (CIC), we reaffirm our commitment to delivering high-quality, engaging, and accessible workshops and events that inspire learning, foster confidence, and promote inclusivity.

Our work spans educational settings from early years to adult education, with a focus on interactive, creative, and immersive learning experiences. We specialise in:

• Anti-Bullying Programmes – Equipping individuals with the tools to create safe, supportive environments.

• Living History Experiences – Bringing history to life through hands-on Tudor, Viking, Roman, and Middle Ages workshops.

• Bespoke Educational Sessions – Tailored programmes designed to enhance curriculum learning.

• Theatrical Productions & Event Enhancements – From concept to delivery, enriching community and educational spaces.

• ​

While we are based in Shropshire, our services extend across the UK, ensuring that our workshops and events reach as many communities as possible. As a Makaton-aware organisation, we prioritise inclusivity, ensuring that our programmes are accessible to all.

​

By becoming a CIC, we strengthen our ability to facilitate more community projects, broaden our reach, and uphold our ethos. This transition enables us to continue delivering meaningful, creative, and educational experiences while reinvesting in the communities we serve.

​

Together, we empower individuals through creativity, education, and engagement—helping them reach out, express themselves, and grow with confidence.
