Joy, beauty, creativity and fun

Abstract

For more than a decade, Look Ahead Housing and Care has been renowned for its innovative arts programme. Projects have included archeology, garden design, photography, music and sculpture. Here Jane Sillis explains why a housing association has an arts programme, what the benefits are for people with mental health issues in participating in the arts, and what might be good practice in running arts projects with vulnerable people.
