Create. Inspire. Care.
Healing Arts supports the health and wellbeing of patients, families, staff and the wider community of North Cumbria through arts in health activities that celebrate creativity, conversation and human connection.
We are an Arts in Health organisation in Cumbria
Arts in health is a rapidly growing sector in the UK and worldwide, with increasing evidence around the benefits for everyone’s health and wellbeing, through initiatives at every stage from prevention and promotion, through to management and treatment. The 2017 All Parliamentary Creative Health report and the more recent World Health Organisation fact sheet describes a breadth of projects where the arts and culture can make a significant difference.
PROJECTS
Since 2014, Healing Arts has run many different projects for patients, staff and families in NCIC hospitals and with some threading into in the community. Please visit our project pages for more information.
