OUR IMPACT
“AT The Bus is at the centre of our school and its impact ripples through the school community.”

THE IMPACT OF OUR WORK
AT The Bus was founded in 2018 and began delivering sessions in 2019. Since then, we have reached over 4,000 children & young people, and established twelve permanent studios on-site in schools.
​
In the academic year 2025/6:
-
1,100 children and young people benefitted from AT The Bus provision
-
We delivered 200 art-as-therapy group interventions
-
We worked with 18 schools
We are committed to the ongoing evaluation of our programme to track and explore our impact and have a culture of continual reflection and improvement, adapting our practice to deliver the best outcomes for children and young people. We use pre- and post- referral questionnaires, alongside qualitative work with young people, and with teachers and families.

“AT The Bus has provided a platform for our students to explore their creativity and express their emotions through art. This has been instrumental in building their confidence and self-esteem. Students who may struggle with traditional academic tasks find success and recognition in their artistic endeavours, which translates to a more positive self-image."
HEADTEACHER, ST MARYLEBONE BRIDGE SPECIAL SCHOOL, LONDON
“You listen to me here. That calms me down. This has definitely made me more confident in school. It's easier to talk in here but I think I can do it in bigger groups in the classroom now."
