Creative Care

We are working in partnership with Creative Minds and South West Yorkshire Partnership Foundation Trust (SWYPFT) to deliver Creative Care, a unique pilot project that led to the recruitment of 24 artists working across 17 acute wards in South West Yorkshire working with over 600 service users and counting. The programme sought to increase the range, quantity and quality of creative activities available on wards and to start to explore what a new, Creative Care workforce would look like. We have been providing group activities as well as 1:1 support, developed the idea of creative care plans, worked with existing staff to increase skills and confidence, and helped work with the discharge process to connect people with creative activities in their community after their inpatient stay.

As the project progresses we will share updates here so watch this space or join our mailing list for updates.
