Arts in Health
Arts in Health operates from the principle that the arts are integral to health and that everybody, regardless of their health status, should have access to the arts. Evidence, gathered by the World Health Organisation (WHO) highlights that the arts can improve the health and wellbeing of citizens, both preventively, and by addressing the specific needs of certain conditions or ailments.
​
Improving quality of life and cultural access is at the heart of this work.​
​
We offer tailor-made programmes which connect arts and health. We explore the therapeutic benefits of a range of craft materials and media, as well as craft’s potential to build community, support individuals in caring for themselves and each other, and to play a valuable role in raising awareness of the successful outcomes achieved through Arts in Health interventions.
