Who We Are

Glasgow Initiative of Facilitation and Therapy was founded by Beth Farmer, Kim Coutts and Sarah Bradley in June 2020 to support the mental health and wellbeing of individuals and groups creatively through our arts therapies services in schools and communities across the city. Due to their hard work, dedication and commitment GIFT has evolved into a social enterprise.
