Who We Work With

We welcome partnerships with:

Charities and Community Organisations

We collaborate with charities, community groups, voluntary organisations, and social enterprises that support older people, wellbeing, inclusion, culture, education, or community development.

Together, we can deliver creative workshops, learning programmes, community events, outreach activities, and initiatives designed around the needs and interests of local older communities.

Local Authorities and Public-Sector Organisations

We are interested in working with local authorities, public-health teams, adult social-care services, libraries, community centres, and other public-sector organisations to develop accessible programmes that promote active ageing, social participation, creative engagement, and digital inclusion.

Care Homes and Older People’s Services

We welcome partnerships with care homes, retirement communities, day centres, supported-living providers, and organisations supporting older adults.

Qavi Arts can work with partners to develop engaging creative activities, art workshops, storytelling sessions, learning opportunities, and community projects that encourage participation, enjoyment, self-expression, and social connection.

Healthcare and Wellbeing Organisations

We are interested in collaborating with healthcare, social-prescribing, wellbeing, and community-health organisations to create inclusive, non-clinical opportunities that support meaningful engagement, creativity, learning, and connection.

Qavi Arts is not a healthcare or medical service. Our programmes are designed to complement wider wellbeing and community support by encouraging creative participation and social engagement.

Educational Institutions

We welcome collaboration with schools, colleges, universities, adult-learning providers, and research institutions.

Potential partnerships may include:

• Intergenerational learning programmes
• Student volunteering
• Community research
• Creative projects
• Digital inclusion initiatives
• Workshops and mentoring
• Evaluation of social impact

Artists, Creatives and Cultural Organisations

We invite artists, designers, musicians, writers, performers, galleries, museums, arts organisations, and creative practitioners to work with us.

Partners may contribute through workshops, exhibitions, creative challenges, mentoring, artist talks, collaborative projects, and opportunities for older people to showcase their work.

Businesses and Corporate Partners

Businesses can support Qavi Arts through corporate partnerships, sponsorship, employee volunteering, skills-sharing, funding, technology support, or the provision of resources and venues.

A partnership with Qavi Arts can contribute to wider social impact, community engagement, employee volunteering, diversity and inclusion, and corporate social responsibility objectives.

We are open to developing meaningful partnerships that create measurable value for both older communities and our corporate partners.

Technology and Digital-Inclusion Partners

Technology can help older people learn, create, communicate, and participate in society. We welcome partnerships with technology companies, digital-learning providers, accessibility specialists, and organisations working to reduce digital exclusion.

Together, we can help older people develop digital confidence and use technology to:

• Access learning opportunities
• Connect with others
• Share artwork and stories
• Participate in online workshops
• Showcase their skills and experiences
• Engage with wider communities

Funders and Grant-Making Organisations

We welcome conversations with trusts, foundations, grant-making bodies, social investors, and organisations that support programmes for older people, wellbeing, creativity, education, digital inclusion, or community development.

Funding can help us expand access to workshops, develop new programmes, reach underserved communities, support digital participation, and create sustainable opportunities for older people to learn, teach, and connect.

We are open to a range of partnership models, including:

• Teachers
• Mentors
• Workshop leaders
• Community ambassadors

Intergenerational Projects

We can bring older and younger generations together through creative activities, storytelling, mentoring, digital learning, and knowledge-sharing.

These projects can promote mutual understanding, preserve valuable experiences, and strengthen connections across generations.

Digital-Inclusion Initiatives

We can collaborate on programmes that help older people develop confidence in using digital tools and participate more fully in an increasingly digital society.

Research and Impact Evaluation

We are interested in working with academic institutions and research partners to better understand the impact of creativity, learning, social connection, and community participation on the experiences and wellbeing of older adults.

Sponsorship and Social Impact Partnerships

Businesses and funders can sponsor workshops, events, community programmes, exhibitions, digital-learning initiatives, or opportunities for older people to participate at low or no cost.

Our Partnership Approach

We believe that successful partnerships are built on shared values, mutual respect, transparency, and a clear understanding of the impact we want to create.

Our approach is:

Collaborative
We work with partners to understand local needs and co-design meaningful solutions.

Inclusive
We aim to ensure that programmes are welcoming, accessible, and respectful of different backgrounds, abilities, cultures, and levels of digital confidence.

Person-Centred
We recognise that every older person has different interests, strengths, experiences, and aspirations.

Strengths-Based
We focus on what older people can contribute—not only on the challenges they may face.

Community-Led
We value the voices, ideas, knowledge, and lived experiences of older people.

Impact-Focused
We aim to develop programmes with clear objectives and meaningful outcomes.

Let’s Create Impact Together

Whether you are a charity, community organisation, care provider, local authority, educational institution, artist, technology company, business, funder, or individual, we would be delighted to explore how we can work together.

Your partnership could help create opportunities for older people to:

Learn something new.
Create with confidence.
Share their knowledge.
Build meaningful connections.
Feel valued and included.
Inspire future generations.

Together, we can create a future in which ageing is recognised not as a limitation, but as a continuing opportunity for creativity, learning, contribution, and growth.
