Welcome to Yellow House

Turning Lives Around

Yellow House have been at the forefront of direct work with young people throughout Merseyside, UK and Europe working on a daily basis at our own Centre and in schools, colleges and other youth agencies - as well as major theatre, art and social projects gaining local, national and international recognition for innovative work.

Creativity

We utilise The Arts including theatre, film, literature, poetry, painting, music, sketching etc. to raise awareness of issues YP are facing, as well as to increase self-confidence and promote wellbeing and positive friendships amongst our YP.

We hold various creative workshops each week at our safe space which are completely unique. All of our work is real life, from theatre performances to art projects – we develop all of our projects around issues that young people are facing and will often perform and exhibit to the wider community to raise awareness.

Care

All of our YP are welcomed into our safe space – we often provide ‘a listening ear’ to many of the YP and their families who we meet on a regular basis. We hold drop-in sessions where young people can or will come and ask for advice or guidance on various things including employability and further education. Often, we will signpost to other partner organisations when required.

Campaigns

We often hold open forums and discussions with many young people, encouraging them to speak up; not only to give them a voice, but a chance to be heard too. We will then work with the young people as a collective to raise awareness around the issues they are facing. We will often develop projects around said issues and exhibit them to the wider community.

Get in Touch

Young people pass through our doors every week to take part in one of our creative workshops or sessions within our creative centre – All sessions are free of charge.

Whether you enjoy drama, creative writing, or painting, or if it’s something you’d like to explore, why not get in touch* and come along to one of our sessions?

Creative Sessions

Creative Sessions

Through these sessions, young people develop their artistic vision and such creative skills as drawing, sketching, painting, making clay models, photography and many other forms of creativity. The main message the team of Yellow House wants to deliver through these sessions is that absolutely anyone can be an artist.

We encourage every young person in Yellow House to find their passion, and fully support any of their ideas by offering mentoring and teaching entrepreneurial skills. This is a great way for young people to gain valuable experience and a sense of responsibility.

History of Yellow House

Founded by George Mc Kane in the 1980’s, Yellow House has been working directly with young people across Merseyside every day for almost 40 years, becoming a registered charity in 1993.

Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, George set up the charity named after Van Goghs Yellow House in Arles.

Van Gogh lived and worked at the Yellow House and his door was always open – he did this so people saw the artist to be a vital part of the community and anyone was welcome, something we pride ourselves on here at Yellow House.
