Ways to Support us

As a charity, Rosetta Arts relies on the support of people like you so that we can offer positive choices to the people of Newham.

With 25 years of experience, we know that opening up arts experiences helps people feel better about their lives while unlocking talent and opportunity.

At the heart of our mission is protecting and maintaining the rare and vital frontline delivery to vulnerable and disadvantaged people in one of the most deprived corners of East London. Newham has the lowest life expectancy and the highest rate of heart disease of all London boroughs. It ranks as the second worst in London for access to the arts.

With over 700 people directly taking part in our programmes every year, we remain visible in places where others cannot reach to make sure that even the poorest people will have the chance to enrich, and possibly change, their lives.

Support Rosetta Arts and you are supporting positive choices for the vulnerable people we work with.

Case studies

Amber

I think Rosetta Arts changes people’s lives by helping them express their talent and be inspired. There’s so many opportunities here: it doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from or what age.

Sylvie

I was at a low point emotionally but the Rosetta photography class was life-changing. It enabled me to discover a part of myself I didn’t know and helped me develop my confidence – a year ago I would have never gone to central London with a camera!

Steve

Since getting involved with Rosetta Arts, my eyes have been opened to opportunities and achievements that I could not have even imagined.

Newham has one of the highest unemployment rates in London at 8.6%

But every year we work with 1,200 unemployed people, enrolling them in art courses in the centre and inspiring them to try out the arts in other community spaces.
