CFAR runs a low-cost clinical service offering long-term open-ended therapy to unemployed and low-income people. It has been running since 2001, and is funded by the generosity of artists who have an understanding of analytic work. Each year, an artist donates a work which CFAR then sells privately, usually to one of a small group of benefactors. Artists who have donated works include Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Cornelia Parker and Grayson Perry. This week Mathew Weir donated the painting Sorrow’s Child, 2013, to support CFAR’s work.
