BBC Radio Scotland - Our Story, Nemo Arts

Isabel McCue shares how the loss of her son John led to the creation of Nemo Arts.

After the loss of her son John, Isabel McCue and her younger son Hugh set up Nemo Arts to support other families dealing with mental illness. Starting with five people on Sunday afternoons, twenty-five years later they offer classes in the community, hospitals and prisons with everything from drama to drumming, singing and painting. Mark Stephen hears how people are finding joy, friendship and a true sense of identity through coming to Nemo Arts.
