Helium is a registered charity, with its head-office based in Mullingar, that inspires children and young people with long-term physical health conditions to imagine, create, and grow. They have a team of professional artists working in 7 hospitals, 13 community settings and online all over Ireland who facilitate our free, fun arts experiences. Through these experiences, they spark creativity, build confidence, nurture friendships, and open doors to new opportunities - supporting young people and their families to imagine more beyond health challenges.
