Creative Wellbeing report
Creative wellbeing is defined as a creative activity such as art, craft, music, singing and writing, run by an organisation or group, that contributes to people’s wellbeing, regardless of whether or not that is its stated purpose.
This report presents information and insights on creative wellbeing in York and North Yorkshire including the benefits and challenges faced by respondents and activity providers working in the space.
The research aims to support organisations and providers delivering activities, funders, and policy-makers and the report includes a practical toolkit for organisations deciding what to measure and how to report.
By investigating creative wellbeing in North Yorkshire, a large and dispersed rural community, the report addresses some of the gaps in existing research which has largely focused on creative wellbeing in cities.
