Key Outcomes

  • Social prescribing partnership workshops (funded by National Lottery Community Fund) delivered 12 sessions to 12 participants with long-term mental health conditions including depression, anxiety and PTSD — with 100% reporting they met new people, learned new skills and had opportunities to be creative, and several participants forming self-led creative groups continuing independently after the programme
  • Free room hire provided 186 hours of non-clinical community space to groups including Devon Carers, the NHS, South Hams Family Hub and a Men's Growth Group — with social prescribing link workers citing the venue as a 'valuable asset' reducing barriers for clients with social anxiety
  • 40 Devon and Cornwall-based artists and movement practitioners were engaged across diverse media including dance, sculpture, somatic practices, video art, printmaking, puppetry, and DJing — supporting local creative livelihoods while co-designing community-led programmes rooted in the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework
