Resonate Arts is led by a voluntary board of trustees and small staff team. We work in partnership with freelance artists across all art forms and regularly develop projects in collaboration with arts and healthcare organisations. Our volunteer Creative Befrienders support our events and build relationships with individuals living in the community.
