Providing Creative Health in Gloucestershire during Lockdown: read the paper here

SUMMARY: Gloucestershire Creative Health Consortium’s pandemic paper ‘Providing Creative Health in Gloucestershire during Lockdown’ is available to download here.

Gloucestershire Creative Health Consortium is currently made up of 5 partner organisations, Art Shape, Artlift, The Music Works, Cinderford, Artspace and Mindsong. Between us we offer a wide range of creative ‘Arts on Prescription’ options to individuals living in Gloucestershire, helping them to manage their health conditions in a different way.

The consortium partners composed a paper documenting their responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, and subsequent lockdown periods from 23rd March 2020 to 19th July 2021. This paper includes observations and experiences from consortium partner organisations, delivering artist facilitators and individuals who accessed Creative Health over this time.

“I have loved the weekly contact with (the artist) and others on the course – so important during lockdown and self-isolation” – Artlift participant

Gloucestershire Creative Health Consortium are delighted to share these important experiences with you and invite you to read the paper here:
