The opportunity to be creative plays an important role in a child's cognitive development. But in UK 3.7 million children live on or below the poverty line. That is about 30% of people aged under the age of 18. For those children art resources are often an unaffordable luxury. During the COVID lockdowns when schools were closed children continued their education at home. Completing the projects they had been set was impossible in homes without access to art resources. In this episode of the Abeceder [https://www.abeceder.co.uk/] work life balance podcast Rest and Recreation Olivia Buckland [https://www.linkedin.com/in/future100/] explains to host Michael Millward how connecting these two facts became the inspiration that led to her establishing Art Cycle [https://artcycle.org.uk/]. Olivia recounts the experience of setting up Art Cycle and how quickly it grew. She explains the process of preparing an art kit from recycled resources and how they are distributed. Now that Art Cycle is a reality Olivia explains the need for funding and her plans for the future. Olivia is always interested in hearing from organisations that are rebranding or changing a logo and have branded items, like paper pads in all sizes, notebooks, pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, etc that are no longer needed. Instead of discarding those items Olivia asks that organisations send them to Art Cycle [https://artcycle.org.uk/].
