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.
Over the years, Yellow House has built a reputation not only for creativity but also for compassion, placing the emotional and social development of young people at the heart of everything we do. Through workshops, performances, and community collaborations, we provide a safe space where individuals can express themselves, explore their potential, and build confidence. Our commitment to inclusion and understanding continues to inspire lasting change in the lives of the young people we support and the wider communities we serve.
Our Sessions
Creative Workshops
We utilise The Arts including theatre, film, literature, poetry, painting, music, sketching etc. to raise awareness of issues young people are facing, as well as to increase self-confidence and promote wellbeing and positive friendships amongst our young people.
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.
Our Story
Our Vision
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.
Success Stories
“My name is Luke and I’m 19 years old.
I came to Yellow House just over 2 years ago and it has changed my whole life.
When I joined, I had social anxiety, I found it hard to make friends or even just go to the corner shop, so going into a Theatre workshop was a massive challenge, however, I found the atmosphere from the beginning to be comfortable and everybody was very welcoming!
Since joining I have grown as a person, gaining confidence and now I have many friends thanks to the skills I gained at Yellow House. I couldn’t even say what my favourite memory was because there’s so many however I loved when went on holiday to Italy! This year I’m off to university, something I probably wouldn’t have had the confidence to do if I didn’t find Yellow House. I cannot thank this wonderful charity for all the memories and experiences and the friends that I will never forget.”
