In Teapot Trust’s Constitution, we define our core charitable aims (our raison d’etre) and also explain the indirect, wider public benefit our work brings.

As required by OSCR, there is a clear and demonstrable link between our charitable aims, our core services, and our public benefit.

 Examples of indirect public benefits which advance Teapot Trust’s charitable purposes are:

• Improved mental health

We share a wealth of original [/Pages/Default.aspx?CategoryTitle=art-therapy-resources]Art Therapy Resources resource materials that are freely available.

• Improved public understanding

We promote an improved public understanding of “invisible illness” by giving young people who live with its daily challenges a voice.

• Research to widen access

Partnership research is active to bring a deeper understanding of why and how art therapy is an effective psychological tool so that it benefits can be made more widely available.

• Sharing our learnings with healthcare professionals

We share our experience and learnings with other healthcare professionals so others supporting children’s health can benefit.

Teapot Trust causes no ‘disbenefit’ (i.e.: detriment or harm) to the public. There is no ‘private benefit’ to anyone. The charity’s trustees are unpaid. No fees or charges apply to individuals. It is important to the charity that there are no barriers to access.
