'Inside Out'
Three year arts project
'Fundraising Concert at King’s' '
We are extremely excited to announce a fundraising concert at King’s College Chapel on 5 May 2012 with internationally renowned concert pianist Leon McCawley. Start your Bank Holiday Weekend in style!
'Inside Out'
Arts and Minds present a three year arts project for children and their families who are in residence at The Croft, Cambridge. Work will take place 'inside' The Croft and 'out' in the woods at Anglesey Abbey.
Ward & Building
At Arts & Minds we have a proven track record of delivering arts projects to a wide range of people who access mental health services and staff in buildings and wards across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.These projects include physical enhancements of the care environment, participatory opportunities for staff and patients as well as public gallery exhibitions.
Anti-stigma & Training
Although not principally a campaigning charity we are constantly aware of unmet need and continuing discrimination and stigma attached to those of us who experience periods of mental ill health. We see training those professionals involved in decision making around the role of the arts within mental health and social care as a vital part of the changing landscape of health services in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
Community & Development
We aim to develop new and effective ways to reach people who may find an experience of the arts as beneficial to their recovery. In a county with very dispersed population centres this means taking the work to them. Arts on prescription, mobile studio space and the development of work with military veterans are all in the pipeline.
Research & Evidence
In financially pressured times it is ever more important that the arts and cultural sectors produce evaluation and where possible research that speaks to funders and partners from the statutory sectors. At Arts & Minds we are determined that the arts and culture can be an effective (including cost effective) tool to address mental health and social care issues.
