In the Community

We work with community partners to co-develop and deliver our services and programmes, currently focused on three main areas 1) supporting mental health and wellbeing, 2) community education for people in contact with the criminal justice system and 3) developing young people from underserved communities. To find out more about our mental health and wellbeing projects, please contact Ruthanne on ruthanne.baxter@ed.ac.uk. For community education and young people, please contact Laura on l.beattie@ed.ac.uk.

Prescribe Culture is our award-winning service strand offering heritage-based, non-clinical support programmes for those experiencing mental health challenges and/or impacted by loneliness and isolation. Individuals become Prescribe Culture members as, as such, can access any and all of the service programmes.

The Arts Award inspires young people from 5 - 25 to develop their leadership and creativity skills and is designed to be creative, accessible and flexible.

We work with people facing a range of barriers to help them back into learning.

Hear from some of our participants and our community partners about the experience and impact of collaborating with us.
