Help support us
Established in 1938, St Ives School of Painting has been a registered charity since 2002.
Supported by kind donations from our students and sponsors Taylor Money and St Ives Rotary, we provide free or subsidised art classes for local young people. With 30% of young people in Cornwall living in poverty, these donations contribute directly to transforming young people’s lives and brightening Britain’s creative future.
Taylor Money Wealth Management is a boutique family-owned business who have been working with high-net-worth clients for more than three decades. We help people make good decisions with their money.
