2012A partnership has been formed between St.Helens Council Arts Service, Adult Social Care and Library Service, to develop a commission that will engage local communities in arts activity culminating in a performance/exhibition/film/event/ production at a date TBC.
In terms of this commission we are going to engage with people suffering with mental health issues – ranging from mild to moderate to more severe and enduring needs. This group of people tend to be very low in confidence, afraid to expose themselves to new activities and their low moods, anxiety and mental health needs mean they may not be as open to participating in main-stream arts activity
This commission is open to an arts organisation with a proven track record of delivering high quality arts programmes that effectively engage with adults who may never have taken part in arts activities before. We are looking to develop an exciting 6 month programme of arts engagement work that reaches and engages with residents (those with mental health needs) who would otherwise not ordinarily participate in arts activity.
The successful company will also be able to demonstrate a proven track record in successfully recruiting and engage hard to reach participants in activity which as well as improving their skills in specific art-forms that also improves confidence and helps improve their well-being.
A budget of up to £10,000 has been allocated for this commission; this will include all costs including management, administration, and artist fees, exclusive of V.A.T.
Please note any organisations interested in this opportunity must apply through The North Local Authority Procurement Portal for which you must be registered – the link to which can be found here - http://bit.ly/u2kuRZ. Once registered on The Chest there will be a link to follow to download the full brief. Alternatively email owenhutchings@sthelens.gov.uk for the direct link to the commission.
