“Permission to switch off. I never thought about it like that – how beneficial is that! so simple. So effective.”

Albatross Arts CIC and Jean’s Bothy delivered a social wellbeing project to establish meaningful connections with larger cultural organisations to support people, of all ages, dealing with mental health challenges. The Culture Club Project was an inclusive, 9 week, intergenerational, pilot project that engaged and supported local people living with mental health challenges to re-engage with wider society post pandemic, whilst learning new skills. The project facilitated weekly cultural excursions, planned and co-designed with the participants and cultural organisations, with whom we already had strong links. The participants built cultural confidence, explored shared specific challenges in a safe setting and established new peer support networks.
