AN art exhibition at the Methodist church in Richmond is aiming to shine a light on the issue of isolation.

Part of the church's Mindful May initiative, Isolation is an exhibition made up of several artists and any proceeds will go the Friends of Garget Walker House, which supports sufferers of dementia, and the Alzheimer's Society.

Thea Treweek, who helped put the exhibition together, said: "Artworks is the name of the church group who plan and execute events that promote community outreach through art, drama, music and comedy.

"There are various activities happening as well as the exhibition.

"The exhibition aims to allow a safe space to consider isolation in all its many guises."

The exhibition runs until Thursday, May 31.
