The Art of Zhen, Shan, Ren (Truth, Compassion, Tolerance) International Art Exhibition is an extraordinarily moving, intimate and inspiring collection of works detailing both an inner spiritual life and an outer human rights tragedy. The exhibition is currently touring in the UK. Zhen Shan Ren Arts (UK) is a company set up to promote The Art of Zhen, Shan, Ren International Art Exhibition in the UK. “Zhen” “Shan” “Ren” is the Chinese translation of “Truthfulness” “Compassion” “Tolerance”. The Falun Dafa New York Art Centre has put 63 works of art together for the exhibition so far, and more works continue to be created. Currently the UK is fortunate to have 61 pieces ready to be displayed. As a UK registered charity we are bringing our artworks around the UK to enrich local communities. We can offer workshops to compliment the exhibition, including film shows, artistic performances, and hands-on activities for a broad range of people to raise awareness of fine art, foundation of morality, and different cultures in the world. A handful of dedicated volunteers have put their time and money to make these exhibitions happen.

Imberhorne CommunitySports Hall Small Change for a Big Change Imberhorne School provides a great education for around 1700 pupils, but currently there is very little space for sport or music and drama. Imberhorne is the only school in West Sussex which does not have a Sports Hall despite being classified by Ofsted as an “Outstanding” school. We are raising funds to enable a state of the art facility to be built. Such a facility will also benefit the wider community as it will promote sport and the performing arts for everyone and we plan that it will be available for all to use. The School Governors have been working hard for more than a year and WSCC recently pledged £1.8m towards the building costs. Now we need to raise a further £200,000 to fullfill our pledge to the project. So far we have raised or have plegdes for about £120,000, but we need your support if we are to achieve our target. Detailed planning has been done with a view to start building in July 2012.
