Arts for Recovery in the Community (Arc)

What we do

We help people to manage their mental health and increase their wellbeing by exploring what it means to live well; to experience meaning and purpose; to flourish and to make a difference. We provide opportunities for people to explore their creativity, connect with each other and learn new skills.

We offer:

• vulnerable adults and young people structured programmes of support, helping them on a journey through recovery to wellbeing and independence
• health partners and commissioners a specialist service which uses the unique power of the arts to support recovery from mental ill health. We have unrivalled experience in the development of high impact, bespoke support programmes for people at all stages of recovery
• communities the opportunity to experience, design and co-produce inspirational arts events which build capacity and change perspectives about where they live
• artists training, space, opportunities and resources to develop their practice in socially engaged settings
• members of the public with a creative interest the opportunity to learn new practical skills
