02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
CAMPS (Cumnock Arts Makes People Smile) exists to improve wellbeing, confidence, and inclusion through community arts. We run musical theatre groups for children, teens, and adults, and free-to-attend creative groups including a community choir and “Just Jammin’” for those in need of connection or support. We also offer CAMPS Create, where individuals learn set and costume design, and we are developing CAMPS Production to teach sound and lighting. Funded places and low-cost membership ensure access regardless of financial situation. We deliver performances, workshops, and outreach in schools and community spaces. Everything we do promotes participation, teamwork, creativity, and joy through the arts.
