The Arts Society believes that everyone should have the opportunity to learn through the arts, and members make particular efforts to engage with children and young people from a wide range of faiths and backgrounds. There are various ways of arranging such Young Arts activities. The members of a local society may organise an arts event for a youth group or they may organise a Young Arts Group as a junior society working to encourage knowledge of the arts.

As project, a society might:-

Provide artists-in-residence in a school,

Fund visits to galleries and museums,

Arrange art exhibitions and competitions,

Purchase special equipment and art books, and

Fund bursaries/awards for individual students.

The Arts Society makes available grants for Young Arts projects.
