The benefits
Project Ability is uniquely recognised as a leading visual arts organisation and a disability and mental health charity. We offer engagement with visual arts and access to a contemporary new art centre in Glasgow city’s new visual arts hub, Trongate 103.
Whether you are looking to make a donation or gift in-kind, sponsor an arts event or project, or seeking a long term charity partner, working together with Project Ability gives the opportunity to achieve corporate social goals; directly improve the lives of the people who are socially isolated, whilst enhancing your image in the community and amongst potential customers.
Project Ability is one of eight visual arts organisations housed in Trongate 103. Open to the public in September 2009, the new art centre is set to receive over 75,000 visitors in its first year. Trongate 103 supports world-class artists as well as offering opportunities to the wider community to participate in the arts, in an environment that values the creativity of all people.

Fundraise at work
Fundraising at work is directly linked to an increase in staff morale and productivity. From swear boxes, to dress down days or a skills auction, you are limited only by your imagination!
