WHALE Arts
- Project Status: On-going
WHALE Arts was awarded £14,947 in June 2025 to run their project for 12 months
A 12 month project to provide a less formal weekly drop-in service for people with long term conditions, providing a combination of taster arts activities wellbeing activities and 1:1 support with a focus on self management tools and strategies.
Learning will be gained from understanding how participants wish to use this space, whether it attracts a different beneficiary group who otherwise wouldn’t attend structured workshops, the degree to which the drop-in service supports people to transition into other activities, the degree to which activity can be shown to impact on people’s self management as well as the experience of attempting to foster a participant-led approach within an informal drop-in style activity.
