Wester Hailes Arts for Leisure and Education - helping people in and near Wester Hailes
WHALE's mission is to provide opportunity for the people of South West Edinburgh to take part in arts activity, to widen their appreciation of the contribution arts can make to personal growth and to the life of the community.
Why the community needs this charity
WHALE is based in an area of urban social housing with pockets of extreme deprivation. WHALE tackles some of the issues our community faces by developing targetted arts programmes that enable people to make positive life changes.
Results and outcomes
Over 1,300 local people each year participate in WHALE activities. They have an opportunity to express their creativity in arts activities they would otherwise be excluded from, which can lead on to college, improved health and other benefits.
Latest activities and projects
20 in 2012
WHALE will be hosting 20 events, performances and exhibitions in the local area, both in WHALE Arts' centre and in local community spaces. Professional,local and amateur artists and companies will all be invited to participate in these high profile opportunities for local people to celebrate their involvement in the arts. Workshops and talks will also give us the opportunity to examine our practice and the impact we've had on the community. read more
