Pyramid has been supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to create artwork in Leeds for over thirty-five years.  We are one of very few organisations locally who support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities in this way. 

We know that the work that we do at Pyramid is special. We are proud of the artwork and events that we have on display throughout the city; from permanent sculptures at Meanwood Valley Urban Farm and Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills, to regular exhibitions in important community and arts venues like Bramley Baths and Leeds Art Gallery.  This work inspires pride in our members and shows the public the amazing things that artists with learning disabilities and autism are capable of. 

Pyramid’s great work goes far beyond the artwork that our members make.  We offer bespoke packages to make sure each member receives creative support which meets their needs, whether this is as part of a group or through 1:1 support.  Our members learn new skills at Pyramid, improve their mental health and make friends for life!  Parents and carers often approach us to let us know that the service we provide is life-changing for our members and their families.

But Pyramid needs your help!  In an increasingly challenging financial climate we are struggling to reach the level of funding needed to deliver work of this high quality. Major financial challenges across the arts and social care sectors, alongside ever-increasing costs, mean that our small core team need to work even harder to gain the funding required to survive.  Any and all additional financial support is gratefully received and will be spent on supporting our member artists to reach their full creative potential.
