The arts are integral to who we are, to how we relate to others and the world around us. They can be a shelter, can bypass words and offer support in times of change and loss. Recognising the transformative potential of the arts in human life, we are committed to supporting patient and family wellbeing through the use of expressive arts, including music and songwriting, painting, creative writing, photography and film making. In diverse forms and formats, including individual sessions, open groups and creative projects, the arts can bring people together in creative ways. This includes our engagement with schools and other communities to promote healthier attitudes towards change and loss in life.
