Rowan

Rowan is a vibrant, independent, registered charity providing an arts centre and forest school for adults with learning disabilities based in Cambridge.

Since 1984 we have offered a safe, creative, and enriching environment where the arts are used as a tool to bring people together and tackle social exclusion. We develop the skills and potential of our students while improving their happiness, health and wellbeing. We also deliver much needed respite to families and carers.

What do we do?
Rowan provides a range of creative workshop including woodwork, ceramics, textiles, print and mixed media, drama, music, sculpture and forest school.

We are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 3pm, for 50 weeks a year. We arrange regular trips to theatres, museums and exhibitions to explore art and culture further.

In addition, Rowan runs a range of community art classes during evenings and weekends.

“It is the happiest place; this is my main reason for wanting to be here”.- Rowan volunteer

“I love Rowan. It’s a very special place to me and it gives me the chance to make art once a week and that helps me relax”. – Student artist

“Rowan provides a safe and nurturing environment in which my daughter can thrive and reach her full potential. She has the opportunity to interact with lots of people”. – Student artist parent

We believe that people living with a disability should have the same choice, quality of life, opportunities and aspirations as others.
