The Help Portfolio was conceived and developed during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns by artist Sue Arrowsmith, collector Christian Mathews, Jealous Gallery and Print Studio director Dario Illari, and Cristea Roberts Gallery director David Cleaton-Roberts. Sixteen artists donated a print to the portfolio, the sale of which benefits sixteen charities. Each artist personally selected the charity they wished the funds to go to.

The Help Portfolio exhibition featured a collection of prints by the iconic British designer Margaret Calvert OBE and artists Jake & Dinos Chapman, Michael Craig-Martin CBE, Idris Khan OBE, Chris Levine, Sue Arrowsmith, Ian Davenport, Nicky Hirst, Paul McDevitt, Elizabeth Magill, Annie Morris, Paul Morrison, Remi Rough, Yinka Shonibare CBE, Mathew Weir, and Paul Winstanley.

It’s amazing how art can make such a difference. To date, the Help Portfolio has raised over £350,000, providing essential support to smaller charities that faced significant financial challenges, especially during and after the Covid period.

The portfolio, consisting of 16 works, can still be acquired at its initial launch price, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the charities selected by the artists:
