Sharing on behalf of the Creative Health Board Project -
Survey Invitation for Creative Health Practitioners - affective support for people working in arts and health.

Over the last 10/15 years Creative Health has rapidly expanded, alongside an increased emphasis on socially engaged practice both in Artist briefs and in criteria for funding. Often, artists are not able to access training or emotional support that might be helpful or important when carrying out this type of work.

As part of the Creative Health Boards Project, we want to explore what support and training is available to people working with communities to deliver arts and culture (usually where there is a health benefit to the individuals taking part).

We want to better understand where training provision sits and where there may be gaps. We also want to know how people can be better supported to deliver these types of 'Creative Health' programmes.

The survey consists of 15 questions and will take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

We are interested in hearing from anyone who delivers arts or cultural activities to communities across South Yorkshire. Please feel free to share this survey link with colleagues, friends and connections who may be interested in this work.

As part of Our Year 2024's Crossings and Gateways Programme, artist Harriet Colours created a new mural at Normanton Market!

Throughout September 2024, Harriet worked extensively with the local community to engage people in her design process. She attended coffee mornings at the library, went along to local heritage talks, and engaged young people at the market site, to help find out how local people feel about the place where they live, and what is important to them.

We were delighted to partner with and artist recently to engage students in the process of creating public art.

The aim was to educate, inspire, and empower students by involving them directly in the design and creation of a permanent mural at the Academy.

Launched during the Wakefield Festival of Learning in March 2025, the project combined assemblies, interactive workshops, and a celebration event, culminating in a student-designed mural that now serves as a lasting legacy and creative resource.

The project was made possible through the Wakefield UNESCO Festival of Lifelong Learning Fund.

“What I enjoyed the most about the project is that I can walk past the mural and say that was my idea for that section. The type of skills I learnt were to have patience and resilience. I think that overall the final design looks amazing. I can’t believe how far it has taken us to create a masterpiece”. Year 10 Pupil at Crofton Academy.
