Thought I’d post this for those who aren’t aware of it - it’s an annual fundraising event where artists can donate a small envelope sized (unframed, unmounted) painting to be sold in aid of the National Brain Appeal. It’s a fun way to use your artwork for a good cause - I’ve taken part for the past four years. There’s no selection process, just apply to take part and post your artwork to the charity. All paintings are sold anonymously (artist’s name only revealed afterwards), each for £85. (This appeared in the latest issue of The Artist.)

Thank you for bringing this to our attention Jenny , I do recall you mentioning it last year. We all take things for granted at times and assume it can’t happen to us, I was totally surprised and shocked several years ago when I had Transient Global Amnesia.
Fortunately its only a short term memory loss , well an inability to form memories but it’s still had a devastating impact on my family. I will look to taking part .

Art for Youth had a similar thing - I don't know if they're still operating it, I lost contact when I had to change my email address, and I expect the Covid menace put paid to their exhibitions for a time.
I quite enjoyed doing it, but blowed if I can really paint that small: 8" by 8" is about the farthest down I go ... though taking a quick glance at the wall behind me, I do seem to have managed a 5" by 5" or something similar: the only decent thing I've ever managed to paint at that size, I'm not a natural miniaturist by a very long way. Still, worth doing: Art for Youth used to provide paper, but it was inevitably fairly cheap stuff, so better to cut your own to size.
