Hello All,

 

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the benefits of Culture/ Arts and Health.

and innovation that uses creativity to come up with health solutions

I am also interested in how creative endeavours could be used to support physical and mental health for UK citizens.

There is this fund available which is looking at VR and AR and health (amongst other new tech).

 

If any of you have any thoughts about this or want to discuss in more detail then I would be happy to hear from you.

I have had some success getting funding for Arts and Innovation projects before – both from thespace and from Innovate UK.

 

Best Regards,

 

John

Hi GEMmers,

 

Following on from Emma Metcalfe’s fascinating posts about how museums and heritage sites can support those with depression, I wondered if any museums have attempted to quantify the health and wellbeing benefits they provide in financial terms?

 

Please let me know offlist of any clever techniques or formulae you may have used for this increasingly important area of our work and I will be more than happy to share a collation back if it is of interest.

 

Many thanks all from a bitterly cold Highlands (a real winter up here this year).
