Vision and Aims

Our vision is to help everyone throughout Cambridgeshire and Peterborough with mental health issues to live happier, more creative lives by providing opportunities for them to engage practically in all forms of the arts. We also aim:

  • To co-ordinate current arts activities
  • To stimulate provision where access to participation in the arts is weak
  • To provide a forum for the discussion of arts and mental health issues, particularly those affecting the relationship between the statutory and voluntary sectors
  • To raise funds for the arts and mental health activities from statutory and charitable sources, commercial sponsorship, and the sale of works of art produced by participants
  • To commission providers to offer arts and mental health activities
  • To train artists participating in activities sponsored by the Foundation
  • To collaborate with other arts and mental health organizations in Cambridgeshire
  • To disseminate information about the arts and mental health
