Arterne: Enriching the next generation CIC

03/09/2025

Absolutely amazing to be supporting this group of swimmers who took part in the first training programne and challenge for the first ‘Coached to 5k’ at Plymouth Active

From Sally Proud’s idea to raise money for charitable causes, which Arterne CIC are delighted to have been the chosen beneficiary for Sally, to the launch meeting at Steel Brew, the swimming challenge in July and we are now finally looking forward to spending time together at the celebration event on Saturday 13th September from 7.30pm

Thanks to Matt Cross who has guided people through the journey with superb training and helped the swimmers to achieve their goals

Thanks to the swimmers for raising vital funds by undertaking their challenges to swim 1k/3k/5k - you were awesome and we’re looking forward to seeing you again at the event on the 13th

Please come and support everyone and find out more about how you can get involved in 2026 💜

We love Plymouth talent 💜

Music is good for the soul and Arterne CIC released their first album to help promote mental health and reduce death by su***de in January 2021

‘The Butterfly Effect’ has already reached lots of people with thanks to the support of local artists gifting us their original music for a ‘Blue Monday’ campaign many years ago

The album is free to download for people who want to use it for improving mental health and, if affordable, others can make a donation to listen to it

All monies donated for the album goes back into Arterne CIC for mental health promotion and su***de prevention work provided by Arterne CIC

Have a listen to the album and celebrate our great local musicians of Plymouth

Special thanks to Gordon who helped us produce such a wonderful album to share with you all and Gemma who designed the art work

We are hoping that the second album will be with you very soon

Please listen to the album and share the link because music can make a difference to someone
