Call for Host Schools and Community Groups Arts on Referral Programme 2021-23

Arts Connect are seeking several host schools or community groups that would be interested in hosting 6-week Arts on Referral Course (or 5 weeks if a short half term) in the Summer and Autumn terms of 2022.

Each course lasts up to 6 weeks ( 6x 1-2 hour session per week ) and can be attended by up to 15 children or young people aged between 7-17 years, who are referred to the course as they are experiencing mild to moderate mental health challenges and would benefit from taking part in creative arts activities to help them build their confidence and improve their self-esteem.

As part of the course delivery, we ask participants to take part in research with Coventry University to record any changes in their wellbeing. The courses are currently provided free of charge to host organisations.   

If you are interested becoming a host organisation or would like to find out more about the programme, please contact:
