The Journeys of Appreciation Programme (JOAP) is a cultural programme that partners museums and galleries with NHS inpatient clinical services for older adults with mental health problems and dementia. It involves taking patients on visits to museums and galleries to experience interactive displays and activities. Anecdotal evidence suggests these outings have therapeutic benefits by allowing patients to socialize, reminisce, and engage in meaningful activities outside of clinical routines. The programme aims to change the culture of inpatient mental healthcare to embrace more holistic, creative approaches to patient care and recovery.
This document provides an overview of the Lifelines project, which linked six art studios across the northeast region of England. Each studio was visited by a lead artist who ran workshops. The benefits reported by participants included increased confidence, well-being, and skills. The project aimed to strengthen relationships between the studios and their visibility in the region. It was funded by a grant from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and evaluated positively despite a smaller budget than similar previous projects.
The document describes several arts and mental health programs in the UK:
- The Alchemy Project uses intensive dance interventions for young adults with psychosis through the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. Evaluations show it improves well-being.
- Verd de Gris develops art projects in the North West of England for mental health, inter-generational work, and building understanding. Their "Behind the Mask" program uses arts to support recovery for local women.
- Kirklees Council Community Partnerships supports hundreds of community arts projects for mental health through music, drama, crafts and more to promote prevention and well-being.
Six art studios across the North East of England have partnered together on a project called "Lifelines" to support over 500 individuals with mental health issues or disabilities. The project involved artists working with participants at each studio to create artworks exploring connections between the studios. This culminated in exhibitions of the artwork. The benefits of the art studios for participants includes increased confidence, improved well-being, and reduced symptoms of ill-health. The partnership aims to strengthen collaboration between the studios and raise their profile in the region.
The document outlines Creative Minds, a program developed by a UK mental health trust to promote wellbeing through creative activities. It aims to deliver activities wanted by communities and restore hope through a non-judgemental, partnership-based approach. Workshops found creative activities increased skills, confidence, and purpose. The program now includes over 90 community partnerships and internal projects across arts, music, sports and more to engage people and address social determinants of mental health. Evaluation found increased participation, quality care, and community resilience through this approach.
The Alchemy Project is a co-production action research project between Dance United Yorkshire, Cultural Utilities and Enterprises, and several early intervention psychosis services within the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. The project uses contemporary dance training and performance over four weeks to help young adults accessing early psychosis services. It aims to improve patients' positive affect, functioning, and relationships by addressing isolation, low confidence, and lack of motivation. Evaluations found the dance intervention significantly improved mental well-being and quality of life scores. It is an effective treatment that challenges expectations through non-clinical focus, increases wellness through physical activity, and reduces isolation through social connection.
Meet Me at the Albany (MMatA) is a creative arts club for older adults aged 60+ based in South East London that meets weekly. It offers a diverse range of artistic activities and workshops to help combat social isolation among seniors. Coproduction between artists and older adults is central to MMatA. It has enabled isolated older community members to realize their potential through creative expression and civic participation. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to measure the project's success in enhancing quality of life, social support, well-being and reducing depression among older adult participants.

TIN Arts is a social enterprise in County Durham that runs participatory dance projects for people of all abilities funded through personal budgets. Personal budgets allow individuals to use their social care funds for activities like dance classes that provide both social and health benefits. TIN Arts receives funding through direct payments from personal budgets for their contemporary dance class GeTIN2Dance for adults with learning disabilities. Personal budgets are increasing under new legislation and allow individuals greater choice and control over their care.
Kirklees Council Community Partnerships supports over 150 community organizations annually through funding and development support. Around half of the funded projects address mental health needs using creative arts activities like music, dance, and crafts. The programs aim to promote independence and prevent needs for statutory services by engaging over 12,000 people monthly in activities that improve well-being. Benefits include demonstrated outcomes, community organizations offering innovative services, and a swift response to newly identified needs, though challenges include unequal relationships with commissioners and demonstrating value.
The document discusses how arts and culture can be used to support people's well-being and deliver positive outcomes. It notes that the Care Act of 2014 places an emphasis on promoting well-being and using community assets. Co-producing commissioning is highlighted as an approach where professionals and citizens share power to plan and deliver support together. The document provides examples of outcomes that arts and culture can address, such as mental health, education, and community cohesion. It also outlines factors that influence how commissioners engage with arts organizations and the goals of the artscommissioningtoolkit.com website in supporting arts groups to engage with public sector commissioning.
This presentation is from the Art of Social Prescribing event which took place on 17th September 2015 in Liverpool.
This presentation was given by Helen Edwards and Matt Pearce from Gloucestershire CCG.
This one day conference aimed to respond to increasing interest in social prescribing. It presented the latest academic and applied research with particular reference to the role that arts and cultural activities play in social prescribing. A range of workshops that took place introduced a range of established arts and cultural programmes, highlighted good practice approaches in mental health and wellbeing and encouraged debate on how to most effectively commission, fund and evaluate social prescribing schemes.
The conference was delivered in partnership by NEF and academics leading the AHRC-funded Art of Social Prescribing project at Liverpool John Moores University. It is a Making Connections event, part of the Cultural Commissioning Programme, an Arts Council England funded initiative to support commissioners, arts & cultural sector and policymakers with undertaking cultural commissioning to improve public service outcomes. www.ncvo.org/CCProg.
The Cultural Commissioning Programme aims to help arts and cultural organizations better engage with public sector commissioning and increase awareness among public service commissioners of how cultural organizations can help deliver outcomes. It provides resources and toolkits to support cultural commissioning. Next steps include maintaining national influence, securing recognition for practical work, and enabling local organizations to strengthen their work through national recognition.
This document discusses commissioning in Plymouth and how cultural organizations can help deliver health and social care outcomes. It provides examples of how Plymouth libraries and museums have partnered with commissioners to provide activities for residents with dementia. Through pilots like Arts and Minds, cultural organizations have demonstrated improvements in cognition and quality of life for participants and carers. The document encourages other cultural groups to explore how they can partner with local authorities and clinical commissioning groups to help achieve commissioning priorities and strategies.

This document summarizes a project involving Culture and Wellbeing in York that used arts and culture to promote wellbeing. It involved several arts organizations and a university center. With help from consultants, they developed an understanding of commissioning, built commissioner relationships, and devised a way to communicate how arts can contribute to wellbeing. This resulted in identifying six ways that culture can promote wellbeing. The project found that arts helped increase independence, communication skills, and saved someone's life. It is now developing additional programs involving drama, arts access, singing, and sensory environments. The work faces challenges around budgets, complex health landscapes, and being seen as difficult to understand, but has advantages of collaboration and health/wellbeing priorities.

Norwich City Council: creating spaces for communityCitizen Network
The document discusses the Norwich City Council's Community Enabling Team and its approach to creating spaces for community involvement and empowerment. Some of the key aspects of their approach include reframing conversations to focus on how they can help communities rather than telling them what was done, building relationships and trust, defining success based on what neighborhoods want rather than what institutions want, and enabling neighborhood decision making. Specific programs discussed include grants for community projects, digital sharing platforms, community gardens and art projects, community meals, and evaluating programs from a community perspective to inform future initiatives. The overall aim is to shift to a more citizen-driven and bottom-up approach that empowers communities and creates space for them to thrive rather than just providing

This document discusses the work of the HSE-HfH Joint Oversight Group. It provides updates on:
- The inaugural and subsequent meetings of the oversight group in 2017.
- Key themes discussed including patient experience, linkages with clinical programs, education/training, and reducing variability in end-of-life care.
- The working relationships between the oversight group and hospital groups/CEOs.
- Demographic trends showing Ireland's aging population and the importance of supporting end-of-life care through initiatives like the HfH program.
The Care Quality Commission conducted a review of end of life care in England to examine inequalities. They found that while the quality of end of life care varies, some groups experience worse care coordination and have their needs overlooked. Specifically, people with conditions besides cancer, older adults, those with dementia or from minority groups may face barriers. The review highlighted examples of good local practices that promote personalized care and address inequalities. The CQC will use its findings to strengthen regulation and assessment of end of life care quality and encourage continued improvement in meeting individual needs.
This document discusses a campaign by speech and language therapists at Salford Royal to raise awareness of their role. The therapists see patients with conditions like stroke, dementia and head/neck cancer, and provide services for communication and swallowing difficulties. They describe case studies of patients who benefited from therapy and statistics showing the cost savings when therapy is provided. The campaign aims to increase understanding of speech and language therapy and show how investment can save money by reducing health complications and costs to the government.
This presentation was prepared for a lunch meeting of the Rotary Club of Dryden, Ontario as part of the RTO/ERO October, Engage: End Isolation Campaign.
This document discusses a fund that supports innovative projects to improve transitions for young people with life-limiting conditions from pediatric to adult services. In the first round of funding, projects were supported that created regular social and skills-building activities for young adults at a hospice. A project was also funded to provide mentor support for skills development and volunteering placements for young people. The second round of funding supported additional projects, including expanding peer support groups, developing a transition coordination role, testing models for multidisciplinary support during healthcare transitions, and resources to help young people and families advocate for their needs during transition.

Nhs Sustainability Day 2016 Liverpool Road Show4 All of Us
March 26th this year saw over 300 healthcare organisations take action to promote sustainability and increase public health awareness and we are fortunate enough to have the support of; Public Health England, Department of Health, Department for Energy and Climate Change and The Prime Minister, David Cameron. Working with these stakeholders we aim to further develop the links between health and sustainability thus improving economical and health outcomes within the UK.
For the 2016 campaign, beginning in September, and to celebrate our 5th year of the campaign we will be promoting 50kg of carbon.

This evaluation report summarizes the outcomes of the "Our Lives" project, which created an archive of life stories from people with learning disabilities. It trained younger people with learning disabilities to interview older participants about their experiences. The evaluation found that the project improved self-confidence and self-esteem for the younger participants. It provided them with new skills and responsibilities, and challenged them to try new activities like traveling independently and conducting interviews. Participating in a meaningful role for the project's public outcomes increased their pride. The variety of creative activities also helped participants discover hidden talents. The success of the project relied on good preparation, a balanced program, high quality support, and commitment from support staff.

The document outlines a vision for volunteering that was launched on May 6th 2022. It was a collaborative project involving several non-profit organizations and government support. The vision identifies five key themes: awareness and appreciation, power, equity and inclusion, collaboration, and experimentation. It aims to make volunteering more accessible and enjoyable for all by 2032 through greater collaboration between organizations, empowering volunteers, testing new engagement strategies, and addressing current inequities. People can get involved by sharing commitments on the website to support changes over the next ten years.
This document outlines plans for the NCVO to create a new distributed network to better connect its members. The current centralized model has members connecting only with NCVO, rather than each other. The new vision is for a platform where horizontal relationships are central, members can easily connect and self-organize, and share knowledge to support each other practically and emotionally. This is intended to strengthen civil society impact. The next phase will develop a detailed proposal and funding budget to test assumptions and build understanding and capacity among partners to launch the new network by 2023.

The document summarizes research from a national survey on volunteering in the UK. It finds that while formal volunteering declined during the COVID-19 pandemic, informal volunteering increased slightly. Willingness to help others is the top motivator for volunteering. However, paid work is a major barrier, and post-pandemic volunteers are experiencing burnout from increased workload and stress during the pandemic. The cost of living crisis may further impact volunteer satisfaction and participation going forward.
This document provides information about undertaking a governance review of a board. It outlines the typical stages of a review including desk research, surveys of skills, diversity and governance, interviews, board observations, and a final report. It then discusses tools that can be used for the review, including the Governance Wheel for self-assessment, a skills audit, and a diversity audit. Potential red flags or issues that may be identified are also mentioned. The document concludes by thanking participants and directing them to return to the main room for an AGM and member event.
This document summarizes the proceedings of a National Volunteering Forum organized by NCVO and AVM. The forum focused on engaging volunteers and paid staff. It included presentations on developing shared principles between volunteers and staff from sector perspectives, as well as case studies from organizations on their approaches. Breakout discussion groups also took place on making decisions around paid and volunteer roles, and challenges faced. The forum concluded with reflections on recognizing, reconnecting and reimagining volunteering in the future, the role of volunteer leadership, and next steps.
A panel discussion considering what the future hold for charities and their governance, and how trustees can support their charities to survive and thrive.
Here we share our progress on updating the Charity Governance Code. Hear from the Code steering group about changes that are being made to the Diversity and Integrity principles following its refresh.
The panel will share some of the proposed changes to the Integrity principle, offering a preview of the updates. They will also reflect on findings from engagement and the extended consultation on enhancements to the Diversity principle. This will be an opportunity for the steering group to share their learning, having listened to a range of experiences. It is also an opportunity to discuss best practice which has been identified through the revision work. Finally, the group will offer an update on next steps on the Code's revision.
We’ve put together this video guide to using the governance wheel to carry out a board effectiveness review. It will be most useful for trustees or staff who are undertaking a board review for their own charity and want to know how best to use the governance wheel to support them in this.
This document provides an introduction and agenda for a webinar on emerging safeguarding risks due to the COVID-19 lockdown. The webinar will discuss safeguarding risks in schools, the workplace, with homeworking, and regarding digital technology and online safety during lockdown. It will also provide an introduction to safeguarding, including definitions of vulnerable people, types of abuse, and special areas of concern. The host has a background in nursing, policing, social services, and currently works as a safeguarding risk consultant. Supporting documents on understanding safeguarding are also referenced.
As the charity sector continues to manage the impact of the pandemic, many charities are facing financial uncertainty. In this context many senior leaders, to ensure their charity’s sustainability, will be considering collaboration and merger. In this webinar, in association with Bates Wells, we aim to answer questions such as: When should a charity in crisis consider merging? What are the alternatives? How can you make the best decision for your organisation? You will also hear about a new online decision-making tool which will help organisations chart the options open to them in a tight financial spot.
Normal working practices have changed dramatically in a very short period. Most staff are still working remotely, and many organisations have made use of the furlough scheme. This has meant organisations are having to manage and support staff remotely; review some existing policies to ensure they are still fit for purpose; and manage with a reduced and rotating staff capacity. In partnership with our Trusted Supplier Croner, in this webinar we will be sharing good practice on managing and supporting staff in this new environment. We will be joined by Vicky Scott, Operations and HR Manager at Hackney CVS who will share the experiences and learnings of Hackney CVS in this new context.
The economic impact of coronavirus means that many voluntary sector organisations will be going through a period of significant change over the coming months. For many of the hardest hit charities, the process of restructuring and making redundancies will sadly be inevitable. In this webinar we help organisations prepare for this context.
The document summarizes a webinar on the legal and practical considerations for easing lockdown restrictions and returning employees to work. It discusses employers' health and safety duties, the UK government's roadmap, conducting COVID-19 risk assessments, and practical safety measures to implement. It also provides an example of how St. John Ambulance prepared to restart operations and shares resources on legal guidance from TrustLaw and NCVO.
The document summarizes key findings from the UK Civil Society Almanac 2020. It finds that while the number of organizations has remained stable in recent years, most are small with incomes under £100k. Total charity income and assets have grown but more slowly in recent years, with the public now the main income source versus government. Reserves are back to pre-2008 crisis levels but reductions in investments could threaten financial fragility. The paid workforce has reached 900,000 but is likely to decrease, while formal volunteering rates have remained stable though changing in form. The document outlines implications and practical support available for charities during the current challenges.

Robert
Howard
We
are
finding
that
the
experience
of
visi6ng
museums
and
art
galleries
is
not
only
enjoyable
and
fun
but
a
turning
point
in
the
nurse-‐pa6ent
rela6onship.
We
tailor
the
ou6ngs
to
meet
people’s
needs,
including
one-‐to-‐one
support
where
people
are
very
unwell.
One
of
our
nursing
colleagues
shared
her
experience
about
a
par6cular
pa6ent
she
was
with
–
an
elderly
gentleman
who
was
quiet
and
withdrawn
on
the
hospital
ward.
During
a
visit
to
the
Horniman
Museum,
close
to
where
he
grew
up
as
a
child,
he
began
to
talk
and
reminisce
about
his
life,
par6cipa6ng
in
the
various
interac6ve
displays.
An
elderly
lady
with
moderate
to
severe
demen6a
was
involved
in
an
object
handling
ac6vity
on
the
Horniman
visit.
She
misiden6fied
a
stuffed
black
and
white
badger
as
her
own
collie
dog
named
Timmy.
She
cried,
which
allowed
staff
to
sensi6vely
explore
her
memories
about
her
pets
and
past
life.
This
poses
the
challenging
ques6on
of
how
we
can
influence
and
change
the
culture
of
inpa6ent
mental
health
nursing
away
from
task-‐orientated
du6es
and
set
rou6nes
to
embrace
these
therapeu6c
and
crea6ve
opportuni6es
within
normal
clinical
prac6ce.
We
want
to
provide
holis6c
care
that
goes
beyond
simply
offering
medical
interven6ons.
Seeing
the
difference
this
crea6ve
project
makes
to
people,
both
staff
and
pa6ents,
has
been
really
exci6ng.
We’re
currently
exploring
various
ways
to
develop
the
programme,
including
working
with
local
ar6sts.
While
it
is
s6ll
early
days
we’re
definitely
seeing
a
culture
change
on
the
wards
and
it’s
heartening
to
discover
that
more
and
more
people
want
to
be
a
part
of
this
ini6a6ve.

people
wanted
the
proposed
ac9vi9es,
that
there
was
a
clear
local
demand,
and
that
another
specific
Art
into
Life
project
was
properly
measured
and
that
this
would
be
a
genuine
partnership
with
full
shared
responsibili9es.
The
first
pilot
had
been
well
received,
but
required
more
planning
with
beer
prepara9on
of
key
issues
such
as
transport.
A
Mental
Well-‐being
Impact
Assessment
(MWIA)
on
the
Art
into
Life
pilot
with
SLaM
was
undertaken
in
2010
with
all
stakeholders,
led
by
Helen
Shearn.
The
MWIA
Report
is
accessible
from
the
Public
Health
Observatories
website.
hp://www.apho.org.uk/resource/item.aspx?RID=105935
The
key
MWIA
finding
was
that
access
to
a
posi4vely
regarded
and
pres4gious
“shared
public
space”
such
as
Tate
Modern
had
a
significantly
posi4ve
impact
on
par4cipants.
Experiencing
the
freedom
of
an
open
space
where
different
kinds
of
interac9on
and
engagement
took
place
was
beneficial.
This
also
raised
comparisons
with
how
people
felt
about
the
ward
environment
which
was
perceived
as
less
therapeu9c.
The
MWIA
report
supported
the
successful
grant
applica9on
to
the
Maudsley
Charity,
for
an
expanded
programme
for
all
three
wards
over
four
years,
to
include
more
museums
and
galleries
and
Tate

include
improving
understanding
of
the

service
users
and
staff
with
experiences
from
the
museums
and

which
promote
recovery,
well-‐being
and

2. To
enhance
therapeu9c

between
pa9ents
and

and
enhance
the

by
fostering
par9cipa9on
in
the
programme.

which

and

Clinical
Academic
Group
in
museum
and

with

workshops.
JOAP
helps
service
users
reconnect
with
the
world
and
experience
things
that
they
may
have
done
before
their
illness.
This
can
help
and
encourage
the
pa9ent’s
Life
Story
prac9ce
with
staff,
by
using
the
visits
and
the
follow
up
crea9ve
sessions
as
a
way
of
communica9ng,
providing
a
sense
of
wellbeing,
social
inclusion
and
recovery.
In
the
first
2
years
of
the
programme,
crea9ve
partnerships
with
the
Cinema
Museum,
Dulwich
Picture
Gallery,
Horniman
Museum
and

and
Tate

and

have
been
established.
Staff
and
service

who
have
taken

are
beginning
to
report
the
benefits;
a
real
sense
of
freedom
by
going
out
and
‘gegng
away
from
the
ward’;
the
joint
experience
of
learning
together
is
proving
to
have
a
posi9ve
impact
on
how
the
ward
‘feels’
and
works
on
a
daily
basis.

are
being

successful
tailor

programme
by
delivering
10
monthly
visits
to
museums
and
galleries
across
the
three
wards
and
to
explore
new

with
other
museums
and
galleries.
For
Year
2,
there
was
an
overall
increased
uptake
of
visits
by
service
users
and
staff
(see
table).
The
programme
also
started
to
involve
carers
more
rou9nely.
The
opportunity
to
involve
volunteers
and
students
remains
limited
due
to

An

iden9fied
a

work,
and
in
par9cular
the
use
of
computer
skills
to
aid
development
of

Tailor-‐made
training
was
designed
between
SLAM’s

and
JOAP

Life

prac4ce
The
Life
story
and
Computer
skills
workshop
earlier
in
2014
enhanced
the
Life

prac9ce.
Some
wards
also
reported
a
more
consistent
implementa9on
strategy
with
an
iden9fied
target
of
two
life
stories
per
month,
involving
the
whole
team
to
par9cipate
in
the
process.
A
need
for
further
support
was
iden9fied
to
maintain
this.
The
use
of
Life
Story
work
has
also
expanded
beyond
the
focus
on
par9cipants
of
the
JOAP
programme,
and
also
included
any
service
users
transferring
to
a
care
home,
who
could
benefit
from
a
Life
Story.
The
comple9on
of
artwork/
collages
remained
consistent
across
year
1
and
year
2,
which
reflects
the
capacity
of
JOAP
staff
and
the
ward
teams’
aspira9on
to
create
an
artwork/
collage
quarterly
on
each
ward.
Aspira4ons:
A
guidance
sheet
for
staff
on
how
to
submit
completed
Life

work
on
the
health
records,
and
to
make
the

Technology/IT
Support
Life
Story
work,
artwork
and
collages
were
further
enhanced
by
the
purchasing
of
a
portable

This
allowed
service
users
and
staff
to
print
out
photos
instantly
ater

and

to
memorise

Aspira4ons:
Computer

for
each

to
further

Also
to
get
audio

with

worked
along
service

handling
workshops.
The
themes
included
Easter/
spring9me;

India
and
a
mul9-‐sensory
session.
Service
users
created
a
collage
to
celebrate
their
achievements
at
the
end
of
the
sessions.
“The
aim
of
the
project
was
to
produce
a
‘Tree
of
Life’.
This
consisted
of
a
tree
made
of
aluminium
armature
covered
with
a
thin
plaster
skin,
painted
in
acrylics,
and
given
a
textured
surface.
The
tree
has
objects
on
it
and
around
it
made
out
of
clay
by
pa6ents
carers
and
staff
in
painted
acrylics.
Each
person
was
asked
to
create
something
which
was
significant
to
them
as
an
individual.
The
project
was
fully
inclusive
allowing
everyone,
regardless
of
ability
or
experience
to
take
part
and
feel
a
sense
of
ownership
of
the
project”.

The
aim
is
to
help
find
a
way
to
ar9culate
the

offer
for
older
people
and
improve
the
coherence
of
what
is

Visual

the
ar4st’s
perspec4ve
and
need
for
support.
MA
disserta9on
by
Dr
Manjinder
Sidhu
ar9st
&
art
group
facilitator
on
the
Maudsley
Hospital
ward.
Abstract
Art
can
humanise
a
clinical
healthcare
system
and
encourage
us
to
see
people
as
whole.
The
social
and
therapeu6c
benefits
of
art
programmes
in
healthcare
segngs
has
been
well
documented
and
the
evidence-‐base
now
exi ts
to
jus6fy
public
spending.
Such
programmes,
increasingly
mul6disciplined
collabora6ons,
rely
on
effec6ve
partnerships
that
value
mutual
understanding
and
respect
for
the
unique
strengths
of
all
partners.
To
date,
the
perspec6ve
of
pa6ents,
healthcare
staff,
arts
organisa6ons
and
policymakers
is
widely
reported
in
the
research.
But
the
ar6st’s
‘voice’
is
missing
from
the
conversa6on.
What
is
the
experience
of
ar6sts
working
in
healthcare
segngs?
And
what
support
do
they
need
to
help
them
thrive?
As
a
visual
ar6st
with
a
socially
engaged
prac6ce,
I
document
my
experience
of
facilita6ng
art
sessions
with
staff
and
inpa6ents
at
the
Maudsley
Hospital.
This
revealing
insight,
interweaving
art
discourse
and
prac6ce,
counters
health’s
predominantly
instrumental
rela6onship
with
art;
where
projects
are
discussed
solely
in
terms
of
health
or
social
outcomes.
Unashamedly
idiosyncra6c,
this
personal
account
does
not
aim
to
offer
generalisa6on
or
fit
neatly
within
a
reduc6ve
posi6vist
framework,
it
simply
illuminates
and
contextualises
one
example
of
a
socially-‐engaged
art
prac6ce.
Reflec6ng
on
my
experience,
ideas
and
reports
of
other
ar6sts
working
in
par6cipatory
contexts,
I
explore
the
need
and
nature
of
support,
con6nuing
professional
development
(CPD)
and
training
for
ar6sts
working
in
healthcare
segngs
today.
This
6mely
report
will
interest
funders,
policymakers,
arts
commissioners,
health
professionals
and
training
providers:
recognising
and
valuing
ar6sts’
needs
will
ensure
that
projects
are
adequately
planned
and
funded
to
achieve
excellence,
while
ar6sts
flourish.

The Outreach Europe project is funded by the European Union’s Culture Programme (2007-2013) and has been implemented by 3 partners: South
London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM), Elderberry AB in Sweden and the GAIA Museum in Denmark. Through an extensive survey
the project partners have researched how museums, galleries and cultural institutions engage with an audience beyond the traditional means
of outreach. This audience includes people with learning disabilities, people with mental health issues, elderly people with health problems and
dementia, ethnic minorities – non-native speakers and homeless people.
The selected case study: the Journeys of Appreciation Programme (JOAP) by SLaM, is one of the outcomes of the 2 year long cooperation project
between the partners, to highlight good examples of outreach and social inclusion offered by museums and galleries throughout Europe, to facilitate
the beginning of a new and sustainable approach for outreach processes, culminating in the Outreach Europe International Conference in London
in April 2015.
The case study and reports are available on: http://outreach-europe.eu/
