Connecting Communities Through Art, Heritage & Sustainability

Our Mission

Heritage Life Horizons CIC is a registered Community Interest Company based in Swansea, Wales, dedicated to inspiring future generations through art-based sustainability and environmental education.

Through our flagship programme, the Wheel of Balance, we use creative arts-based learning to help young people, home educators, community groups and organisations understand how creativity, sustainability, history, innovation and community all connect. With sustainability and environmental consciousness at the heart of everything we do, we are committed to making learning engaging, meaningful and inspiring for everyone who takes part.

We operate across the Wales, UK, Qatar and UAE — bringing cross-cultural understanding, accredited learning outcomes and a proven 25-year track record to every community we serve.
