Prism, a Carlisle-based charity supporting disabled artists across Cumbria, is calling on the community to take action now as its Big Give fundraiser is live this week.
Until noon on March 25, every donation made through the Big Give will be doubled, helping Prism reach its £1,000 target – which will be matched to become £2,000.
Donations must be made through the Big Give link before the deadline to qualify for match funding.
Founded in 1987, Prism empowers learning disabled and neurodivergent artists through its core studio and exhibition programmes, as well as outreach projects for SEND young people across Cumbria.
The charity provides access to high-quality materials, expert facilitators, and a supportive community, helping individuals build confidence, explore their identities, and create exceptional work.

Prism’s mission is to create a society of art without barriers. With your support, Prism can continue to provide life-changing opportunities for learning disabled and neurodivergent artists.
Emma Turner, Prism’s communications lead, said: “Every little bit really does help – for every £1 you donate, the charity gets £2.
“It’s a fantastic way to make your support go even further. If you can’t donate, you can still help. Share the Big Give link and ask your friends and family to join in too.

“Together, we can make a huge difference for these artists and ensure Prism can continue making a difference to people’s lives.”
Donations must be made through the Big Give website to qualify for match funding: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS0000021RWTYA2
