Dear All,
We are a new partnership group of four museums in North
Wales (Bodelwyddan Castle, Llanrwst Almshouses, Oriel ac Amgueddfa Gwynedd and
Oriel Ynys Mon) working collaboratively to develop a more strategic approach to
the role museums play in supporting the needs of mental health service users in
the area. We are anticipating submitting a grant application to CyMAL as
a partnership to carry out an in-depth action research project which looks at
the additional benefits museums can offer in health promotion as well as
recovery from mental ill health. Our goal is to use this project as an
opportunity to refine the pre-existing knowledge and expertise within the
partnership in order to develop a model for future partnership working (between
museums and across the health, community and voluntary sectors).
We are inviting researchers/consultants to submit
expressions of interest in carrying out the study on behalf of the
partnership. Please request a copy of the brief by sending an e-mail to
me at [log in to unmask]
The brief is currently available in English; however, if you require a Welsh
language version, please specify this in your e-mail request.
The deadline for expressions of interest is 20th
January, you will then be invited to submit a more detailed application by the
30th April 2011. Full details of how to apply are outlined in
the research brief.
Kind regards,
Morrigan
