Our impact

A super-effective charity

Just as investors study the effectiveness of different companies, economists have studied the effectiveness of learning creatively with Artis.

We carry out an annual socio-emotional evaluation of our creative learners. Data is assessed by Pro Bono Economics, who use economic analysis and insight to improve wellbeing. Lifetime benefits from Artis include increasing academic attainment and future earnings whilst reducing the likelihood of truancy, exclusion, smoking, depression and crime.

Pro Bono Economics has also estimated that for every £1 invested in Artis, there is a potential lifetime benefit of £32 for children, government and society. Using our impact calculator below, you can pop some numbers in and estimate the outcome of an investment in Artis.

At the start I was a bit scared because I had a small voice, and now I shout across the hall so everyone can hear me and I don't feel afraid now.
