The Mouth and Foot Painting Artists Trust Fund
The M.F.P.A. Trust Fund for the Training of Disabled Children in the Arts was established in 1989 by the British Members of the international self-help co-operative, the Mouth & Foot Painting Artists. The aim of the Trust is to provide financial assistance for individuals and organisations to further the development of disabled children in all artistic disciplines. Over the years the Trust has actively sought funds from individuals and organisations to enable this to happen.
