Help Us Do More
Entelechy Arts is run by volunteer trustees, paid staff and freelance artists.
Just under half of our annual income comes from Arts Council England and London Borough of Lewisham.
We fundraise to provide support for our activities and events. Members of our local community also support us and raise funds on our behalf.

Every year we need to raise £120,000 to continue to deliver our activities. Currently, we provide places for people in over 300 workshops, events and activities every year. With more funding, we can provide more activities for more isolated and vulnerable people living in South London.
“This project has given me my life back”
“It’s given me a new zest for life and a new determination that I can do things for myself if I try.” Project participants
We want to increase the number of people we can help, but the only way we can do this is with support from you. You can choose to donate a few pounds or a lot of pounds.
